TS-412 not working at all with Seagate 3TB HDDs

[troutfinger]

System logs indicates it failed over 40 hours ago... resetting to default and starting again...

[troutfinger]

it just get stranger... after hitting the factory default reset button, I log in and find.... a RAID 5 array waiting to be formated?!!?

Interesting...

...spanning the full possible space of the 3 TB disks, or beeing limited to about 700 MB each member?

Well I am somewhat amazed and kinda scared... it seems that even tho the logs were reporting failures it was still completing tasks... it took less than an hour to format the whole 8.3TB's. I haven't written any data to it yet but the system reports is as being happy.

We will see what kind of fun I have tonight when I start to populate the data back to it!

Total volume size: 8247.59 GB formatted EXT4

I had to first update the firmware of the qnap nas, to see the hdd at all. then initialized and used the seagate hdd for some time, and then somehow after one restart there were problems...... for few months didnt solve it, and then... I updated the firmware of hdd!

I had ST3000DM001 with the firmware of CC4C and updated it to CC4H. So for now it resumed to work.
If I have to guess, this update can solve problems for many users, if it solved for you too, please respond about it.
