Another successful recovery
So after 4.5 years I've had my first real In-NAS disk failure - a 3 year old 1.5TB drive decided enough was enough. No warnings, no signs - just an unexpected "You have a dead disk" email (or whatever the wording) and sure enough, the disk had an instantaneous failure
The drive might just still be in warranty, but I've wanted to start upgrading for a while and so I bought & installed a new 2TB Hitachi.
About 6 hours later and I'm all sync'ed up and all is well - very pleasing to see all the theory put into practice and work just as advertised.
Nice.

- It is always a good feeling to be able to recover a drive failure.
Grats on catching the in time! :) - Unfortunately, over the past 5 years and three devices, I have an opportunity to prove that it works about 4 times. The first time was within a month of setting up my then new NV+, but at least the replacement drive ran for three years non-stop until replace with a larger drive. I wish the drives were as reliable as my ReadyNAS units have been.
