Formatting New 4Tb Drives taking too long?

Post by Daniel Feiglin »

I have a brand new TS-230 unit to which I installed two new WD-40EFZX 128M Red Plus SATA 3 4Tb drives.
The formatting process has now been running for 48 hours.
Is this normal? How long should formatting take?

It completed after about 72 hours. Everything is looking good and I am withdrawing the question.
