Title: Dns-321 & Hitachi 1TB Drives
Post by: reylas on February 28, 2009, 06:18:14 AM: I just bought a dns-321 and 2 1tb Hitachi Drives. I, now like everyone else, am waiting on a firmware update so the drives will work properly with the 321. I have a question and an observation.

First, any time frame on firmware that will allow my drive to work or is it even being worked on?

Second, I can get the drives to be recognised if I take and power on the 321, then after it is booted completely, soft reset the 321. The drives are recognised then. I believe it is a delayed-spin-up issue possibly. But If I power the thing off and back on, they are no longer recognised. I have to do a soft reboot after a power on.

Any time frame, I really need to use this NAS and cant take anything back.

Thanks

nas in raid 1 with no problems.

Post by: reylas on March 02, 2009, 07:21:50 PM: well, I have mine working, but I have to do a soft reboot after every power on. As long as I do that, it works. I am hoping that a new firmware comes out soon as even dlink acknowledges a problem.

Thanks,

We have resolved the issue in lab testing. It is a drive recognition on startup so if you are currently soft-restarting to get it to recognize the drive you should not have any issues with leaving it on 24/7.
