I think I know the answer to this, but I just want to make sure. In order to use one of these tools to test the drives, one has to physically pull the drive from the unit and test directly in a PC. Is that correct, or is it possible to test directly in the ReadyNAS Duo? The reason I ask is that when I put the 2nd 500GB drive in the Duo, I heard some clicking noises when the drive was being accessed. I don't see anything on its status in Frontview that would indicate cause for concern. But I would feel better if I could test the drives. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
