Disks

NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems

Supported Disks

Use only supported SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) in your

ReadyNAS storage system. If you use disks that are not supported, NETGEAR technical

support will not provide assistance. For a list of supported disks, see the NETGEAR

Hardware Compatibility List at

http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.

Previously Formatted Disks

This section describes how to use previously formatted disks with your ReadyNAS OS 6

storage system.

Previously formatted disks must appear on the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibility List,

which is available at

http://www.netgear.com/readynas-hcl.

Reformat Previously Formatted Disks

If you want to use disks that were previously formatted for an operating system other than

ReadyNAS OS 6 (for example, Windows or RAIDiator), you must reformat the disks.

If you want to use disks from another ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system, see Migrate a

Volume on page 28.

Note: If you try to use previously formatted disks in a system that does not

contain any other disks, the system does not boot and

ReadyCLOUD does not discover your device. If you use RAIDar to

discover your device, RAIDar displays a “Corrupt Root” error

message.

If you try to use previously formatted disks in a system that already

contains usable disks, the system does not reformat or use the

previously formatted disks. Any data on the previously formatted

disks remains intact.

The following instructions describe how to reformat previously formatted disks in a

ReadyNAS OS 6 system. This procedure assumes that the system does not contain any

other disks.

 To reformat previously formatted disks with a diskless ReadyNAS OS 6 system:

1. Gracefully shut down the storage system.

For information about how to gracefully shut down your system, see the Preferred

Shutdown section of the chapter that describes your system.

2. Install the disk.
