New drobo mini - Format seems long...
Hello,
just received my band new drobo mini unit along with 4 x Seagate Spinpoint M9T (ex Samsung) 2To 9.5mm. Everything is solid green : Back PSU plug = solid green Back power light = solid green Front lights = solid green I'm formating NTFS using the latest version Drobo Dashboard using the included USB3 Cable on windows 7 machine. As the windows reads (translated from french) : "The format may take up to 5 minutes and will reboot this unit. Be patient and let Drobo to end the format" More than one hour now, no blinking light that indicates activity... Here's a screeshot of the current state ![]() Why is this taking so long ? What should I do ? Wait a few hours more ? Thanks for any help |

RE: New drobo mini - Format seems long...
hi usually i would wait for a few more hours and see if it completes on its own.
(how are things going now?) (btw i have XP home SP2, a Drobo v1 with 2x 1TB/2x 1.5TB WD greens, & a bkp Drobo v2 with the same + a DroboShare: unused) & a DroboS v2 with 3xWD15EADS &2x1TB in DDR mode on win7, & a drobo5D (all usb)
