HDD At Risk

Hi,

I have just purchased a new F4-201 three days ago. I removed 2 old WD RED HDDs (2 x 2TB WDC WD20EFRX-68E) from my previous NAS to this one. During the initialization, it told me that my HDD are at risk. For the first time, I successfully configured my new F4-210 and copied data to it; however, yesterday it completely stopped working and I lost everything on this NAS. I couldn't PING to it nor access its administration screen. When I used the TNAS app on my PC and found that it was completely deleted and became a brand new NAS. I couldn't do anything with it except for re-installing the whole system as a new one. But this time, after waiting for a long installation time, it told me that the installation failed at the TOS installation step (roughly at 90% of the whole installation process).

How can I fix this issue and bright my new F4-210 back? Is it about the HDD issue or do I need to insert brand new HDDs to the F4-210? I checked the HDD compatibility list and my old HDDs are listed in such list.

P.S.: after the first successful installation, my HDDs passed the HDD check by using F4-210 software, I used RAID-1. HDD bad block was not completed.

There are some issues on your drives, for your data safety, you better backup your data and replace them with new drives.
