hey guys,
i just got a N5200 but must say that i can't get past building raid 5 with 5 750GB WD7500AAKS drives. how do i know its really building it? on LCD, it says "RAID:Formatting Rai" and the web interface says its formatting. the DOM led is orange. Remaining time under RAID menu is 'N/A'. I'm on my second attempt trying to get Raid 5 going. The first try, after about 20 hours, did not finish so i shut down NAS and started over but it had all the signs it was building from the above statues. is 20 hours still not finished building RAID5 normal? how long should this be taking? am i just not being patient enough? its frustrating that there is no real way to see how far along the raid is being built from what i can tell. stock firmware is 1.00.09.
please help... thanks!
