I have an NV+ that has failed in a way that I have not seen. If I try to power it up, I see that the 2nd and 4th disk status LEDs are not lit. The power LED blinks a few times and then goes out, then ...
Seems like a strange way to do it to me, why not just have a small 4GB flash drive for the OS in the NAS? and the Array for stored data? seems more logical to me really. I was told by tech support that the OS is only installed on 1 of the 4 drives in my NV+ and that is a BASE drive and if that drive dies you can not ell what is wrong with the NAS, like it wont boot up, till you remove that drive, even though my NAS did not show any drive LEDs out at all, and my BASE drive was dead or having issues of some kind. was a very strange problem and made me think that this was not the way to go, installing the OS on a single drive in the array seems strange.
