Synology DS207 problem with Samsung HD103UJ drive - not initialised

[Jed Shields]

Hi guys,

I've got a Synology DS207 that originally had 2x 500Gb drives working fine. I've replaced one of the drives with a new Samsung HD103UJ. It's not on the Synology compatibility list, but appears in the user tested list with nothing in the comments (it has hibernation problems with the 407 though). Anyway, when I boot up the NAS the Samsung shows as not initialised. I've formatted the drive in my PC so I know that it works fine. I've also updated the firmware to the latest version.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Jed.

Hmmm .... just contacted Synology and it seems this HDD is not currently compatible. I guess I'll be using it in my HTPC itself then ...
