I wrote about the above on the official ZyXEL forums but, after a few days, had heard nothing so I emailed ZyXEL customer services for assistance. The SMART package that I used to monitor the drive had disappeared. If you performed a repair on the volume it aborted part way through.The disk volume name was blank and changing it did nothing – it remained blank.When listing the shared in the admin screen none of them were editable and their icon was a folder with a question mark – nothing in the help states what this means.My “shares” were no longer available in Windows only – this wasn’t just a Mac problem.It showed that the firmware had never been checked and clicking the option to check, again, caused nothing to happen.There were no packages listed and selecting the option to download them caused nothing to appear. The NAS was showing CPU usage at a constant 0%.I thought this was a Mac problem but after signing onto my NAS via the web interface on my desktop PC (I’m not sure if you can that on a Mac) I realised there was something horribly wrong. Unfortunately, it stopped after the first few gigabytes and, although listed under Finder, I found that I was unable to re-connect. I set it up and the initial backup started. Although the documentation for it stated a complex process for connecting the two up (although that documentation is now out of date – both the NAS firmware and version of OS X have moved on) I found that the NAS simply appeared in Time Machine. Quicker hardware and improved features made the £50 outlay worthwhile.Īfter getting my Mac the other week I switched on the Time Machine option within the NSA310. Back in April I upgraded my ZyXEL NSA210 NAS to the ZyXEL NSA310 model.
