How long will the format of 500 GB drive that was full, take.

 

It's been 24 hrs at least at this point.

 

INFO LED is solid amber and top 2 green lights appear to solid green all the time.

 

web interface says it is still formatting but, doesn't give a %  GRRR !!

 

thanks for any feedback

I would imagine it would only take about 6 hours most of the time to format the drive, maybe a night.  Hopefully it finished after sometime, let us know if you are having any other specific issues.
