All 4 disks "fail" simultaneously?
So I recently experienced a dubious "disk failure" in disk 3 of my ReadyNAS NV+ v2. A growing list of SMART errors on disk 3 prompted the NAS unit to warn me that i would need to replace the disk soon...
It is. There are a number of incompatible drive/firmware combinations with Seagate though whilst Netgear/Seagate acknowledge the issue they won't say what it is. I had loads of "command timeouts" until I replaced the disks with new ones with the upgraded firmware (not upgradable from the models I had) . Then I saw "fewer" complaints and no dropouts (so far).
The HCL is a joke. There is a reason we have ATA, SATA standards. Any you can buy any drive available and it works in any hardware. I know RAID has issues with extended TLER, and similar, but seriously - this is 2013.
