I have the DNS-320 and put in my first drive a 2TB drive, formatted and loaded about 600 gb of data on just fine.

Just received my second drive (same exact drive) and inserted into the 320 and reformatted it as RAID1 How ever after days of rebuilding the Array it still says 0 completed.

Volume Name    Volume_1
Volume Type    RAID 1
Sync Time Remaining    
0 % complete
Total Hard Drive Capacity    1966920 MB
Used Space    623329 MB
Unused Space    1343591 MB

The lights for both hard drives on the front are flashing, fan is on, hard drives warm.... anyone know what is going on?

I had issues with my second 2tb drive last night when I inserted it. It was found ok but format sat there at 0%. I had to power off and pull out the 1st drive. Then it allowed me to format the new drive ok. Then I just inserted my old drive and both were there ok.

I'm not mirroring and have 2 seporate volumes ( Vol1 and Vol2 ) as backup to 2nd nas.

One thing I did hesitate at though was the old drive was called volume1. When I pulled this and formatted the new drive that was also called Volume1 as there's no way of changing the volume name. When I put in the old drive which was origionally volume1 I thought there might be a conflict of sorts but my new disk remained as volume1 and my old disk became volume2. So far no problems and my shares etc just pointed to the new volume2 and worked ok. Even when I pull out the new disk boot up with the old as Volume1 once the new disk inserted it reverts the origional disk to volume2.

With mirroring though and how the dlink swapped my volumes around I'm not sure how this would work because you might end up mirroring your new blank disk with your disk with data on therefore end up with no data so I would be careful and would copy off the data and maybe plan to start again from scratch. The above method should give you both disks just be careful you dont get them mixed up and end up with no data at all.

You need to format the second drive as a standard drive before using it in RAID1.
