- If the USB key is missing for encrypted volumes, the user has to wait for a 10 minute timeout. After the timeout, the encrypted volume will appear as inactive in the local admin GUI.
- If a FLEX-RAID volume has be expanded, the volume cannot be switched back to X-RAID mode.
- If you wish to remove a USB storage device, you should first eject the drive in the local admin GUI before removing the USB device from the ReadyNAS to prevent errors on the file system of the USB device.
- ReadyNAS 102, 104, and 2120 only support creating iSCSI LUNs 8TB and smaller.
- ReadyNAS 102, 104, and 2120 only support volumes up to 16TB.
- ReadyNAS devices updated to ReadyNAS 6.2.0 or later cannot be downgraded to ReadyNAS 6.1.x or earlier.
- In multiple router environments, the ReadyNAS and ReadyCLOUD portal may not connect. In this case, use HTTP instead of HTTPS.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
