It took ages before it appeared on the finder and it has been doing the "Initialize the hard drive and install the firmware" step for about 12 hours so far.
I intend to leave it running while I go to work. Question is how long do I leave it before trying again? Also HDD 3 has a solid red light, which I think means there is a write error.
Boot the system without HDD. If you still have problem with this issue, you may refer to our HDD compatibility list. Once the Shortcut icons are created on the Desktop, the Internet Firewall settings can be re-enabled.

For the best result, make sure you wait until the NAS Device is fully booted. Website Twitter. Regards Simon QTS 4.
I'll add the other 3 drives after I have a success experience One advantage of its requiring eons to initialize is that I get to read the manual while waiting! Probably will opt for RAID 5. I asked at the HelpDesk. We'll see what guidance it gives. Meanwhile, there's reason to hope this format will complete eventually.
The status light is still flashing. Yes, I know, this is like checking the voltage on an unloaded battery and thinking the meter reading is meaningful, but one would expect QNAP to format its internally connected drive much faster than a middle-aged Dell can format an external thumbdrive. So, rough estimate. Contact Moogle Stiltzkin. JBOD has the advantage that it is much simpler. If the RAID controller itself fails, mounting the RAID5 disks on another one can be a chancy thing if you don't have another of the same kind of controller.
I've put an old security camera in front of it so I can check on the status light without having to go to the basement lab bench I'm going to post a related question in a new thread about recognizing "ps" processes which run during initialization.

I tried with a single drive your method of starting the NAS with all bays empty, followed directions from there.
Furthermore it is irrelevant if the filesystem contains any actual data or not, as the RAID is placed in deeper levels unaware of the actual file system used. So just wait for it to finish, you can already start transferring you data by the way. You might be able to speed this up a bit by setting this to resync first. And as dolbymam said, do not confuse this with the transfer rates you get later when copying actual sequential data. For RAID 0 there seemed to be no synchronization at all, though it spend about 30 minutes "Optimizing.
