TR-004

[davidbkk171]

Hello, is there a trick getting this to work with 4 drives? I have it connect to a 431-P3. I can get 2 drives to work but when I add more it messes up the first 2. what am i missing?

how r u configuring it to begin with ? since you plug direct into the 431, can i assume you are managing it via qts and not independently using the tr-004 windows management app?

did install 4 hdds into tr004 and setting up a raid5? and what is it's current setup like with the 2 existing hard drives on the tr-004?


well i don't have enuff info to troubleshoot your issue, but if you backup your data elsewhere, you could reinitialize your tr-004. Then adds those 4 hdds then create a raid5 using qts.

OR alternatively you can set it up as a raid5 on standalone mode using the windows qnap utility app that can create the raid5 without using qts. I believe that you can still connect this to the QNAP and use as an external USB. But whenever you want to manage it, you need to connect to a windows pc and use the qnap utility app for tr-004 i presume.

personally i'd rather setup raid5 in the external mode for tr-004. because then, if anything happens to the qnap nas, you aren't then dependent on requiring a qnap nas to recover your data.

Are all the drives sizes the same? Are you using SW control or HW control (dip switches in back) for your Raid type?

also adding more drives doesnt work with a tr unit..no expansion or migration supported
