Hello.
I recently configured a FreeNas 8 (64-Bit) machine which I want to use as a Media Server storage.
I currently have 4x 500GB Sata hard drives connected to it.
2 of them are Seagate, 1 is Hitachi and 1 is Western Digital. They are all of the exact same size.
When trying to setup the storage inside FreeNas, it only sees 2 drives.
I have ensured that all volumes have been deleted from the drives to ensure no existing file system still exists on them.
If I boot the machine into a WinPE environment, I can see all 4 drives in the "Disk Management", although they have no volumes on them.
Is it possible to use different make hard drives like in my situation, or would all the drives need to be, eg: Seagate 500GB Drives ?
