Fomatting Drives
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:03 pm
Hi,
Just bought an AS3102T-v2 (moving from a DLink DNS-325). I want to move the drives across to the Asustor.
I realise that will mean losing all the data, but I've backed it all up and wiped the drives.
My question is, what do I need to prepare the hard drives for installation? I've removed the previous RAID flags and the drives are now format free and unallocated.
Do I need to re-format them (Ext2/3/4, BTRF) or just place them in the NAS and run the initialisation?
Thanks in advance
