Hi, As a 'newbie' to the world of NAS need help with replacing the hard drive in my Seagate Central.
Old hard drive failed and I bought a WD Red 2.0 Tb as a replacement. Having installed the new drive, it powers up OK but, despite checking all the connections, is not recognised by my PC. Tried Seagate website and used their NAS detector software to no avail.
Had a look at installing FreeNAS but that seems over complicated and appears to need to have a monitor ??? and seems to assume that you are using an old PC so will have a video card built in.
Anyone got any bright ideas that can be explained simply?
Thanks in advance
