Disk 2 really dead? Seeking guidance - ReadyNAS Duo V1
Hi, New to the forum (I did search for an answer but did not quite find the same scenario): My log showed the following messages: Mon Apr 20 13:01:20 EDT 2015 A SATA reset has been performed on ...
It's been a while since I've bought a USB drive.
If you'd like to connect it to the duo later on (for automatic backups), then I'd suggest getting one that is not powered from the USB port.
Also, google the specific model for USB 2 compatibility issues before you buy. Most USB 3 drives have no problems in when connected to USB 2 systems, but I think it is still worth a check.
BTW- if you are connected the USB drive to your work laptop, you could encypt it - since it would only be connected to that laptop. If you have gigabit (both in the laptop and the router), then that would speed up the data transfer to 15-20 MB/s.
