hey folks,

I have a few DNS-323. One of them has a 500gb and an empty slot, 1.06.

So I wanted to put a 1.5tb in the empty slot. I opened the cover, put in the new 1.5 (right side, left has the 500gb) and it prompted and formatted ok. Old drive wasn't erased. I just want a Standard config, no JBOD or raid.

But the problem is I can't access the new 1.5 when the 500gb is in there. The admin says I have two drives installed but for drive info there is only a dash, only the 500 shows all model and serial info properly.

I pulled the 500gb and all info from the 1.5 shows up like you would expect.

any idea what to do? hoping I don't have to backup the 500gb and format them together...

Did you try the drive an another unit?

no I didn't. i didn't try another unit because the others are Raid1 so no option to break up those sets. This was the only unit I have that was a single drive.

Remove the two drives as a set from one of the RAID-1 units and put this drive into it for a test. You can reset the unit to defaults and put the RAID drives back in.
