Hello, I have the following problem with my Buffalo NAS (Linkstation LS-WXL, 2 bays) and wonder if you can help me.
I have bought 2 new hard disks Seagate Compute 4TB and have installed them into the two bays, but they are not recognized.
I have tried three times the following procedure:
I insert the two unformatted disks into the bays.
I turn on the unit.
The blue light flashes for about one minute.
The red info error light starts flashing (6 flashes + 3 seconds pause.
The unit is not reachable from the Nas Navigator 2 and not even on the network.
I hold the functions button for 5 seconds.
The blue light starts flashing repeatedly and continues for hours and hours, without anything happening (the unit does not become visible in the Nas Navigator 2 or on the network).
I turn off the unit, but it stays on, with the blue light still blinking and the fan spinning.
To turn off the unit I have to unplug the power cord.
Notice
The unit is connected to the switch in my home small network.
On my first attempt I formatted both disks. Then I read that disks must be unformatted, and have removed the partition.
I have read various threads, without success until now.
Thank you.
Paola
