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 ...
I have done some research and I found lots of complaints from Mac users about WD external drives. Since my family does use Mac laptops (I'm the only PC user) I will try my luck with a Seagate Backup Plus 2TB portable drive.
Will perform the backup over the weekend.
Update 1: The backup is going at 5.6MB/s. It is going to be a looong weekend.
Update 2: For the most part the backup went OK. I have one large folder (500GB) that is not backing up. In the middle of the file transfer, it hangs and displays this message: 'copy my-file-name: The specified network name is no longer available'. No more access to Admin. The only way to bring it back is to disconnect the power supply (not even pushing the power button works). I've done some research and will try to direct connect my Duo to the PC to which the USB drive is attached. Will have to wait until next weekend though.
Final update: Even with a direct connection between the PC and the Duo, the result was the same. It only copied 30GB out of the 500GB and presented errors for the remainder. So I finally gave up. Proceeded to replace the failing disk and resync'd the the two drives which went fine. I have not tried to access the folder that didn't back up but I am assuming that data is lost. For the most part, the task was successfully completed.
Thanks!
