Hard Drive Failure RN104
Readynas RN104 4x3TB disks (Seagates I think) RAID 5 running OS 6.10.3 and at least 1 disk has failed. Received message (can't remember exactly what now) in Raidar but heard clicking inside unit (so...
One option is to power down the NAS and test the disks with SeaTools. Label the disks by slot as you remove them.
RAIDar 6.5 should give you an option to download the NAS logs and run diagnostics. Have you tried that? The current version of RAIDar is here: https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads
Thanks will give that a try.
Got Raidar 6.5.0 now so will see if can get logs that way as well.
Ok when I try to get logs via Raidar I get attached image - 'Healthy' status doesn't make sense. Display NAS says 'READYNAS is in safe mode'. Can hear clicking / beeping from unit.
Need to locate caddy to do Seatools drive checks. Will revert on outcome.

RAIDar should download a zip file. Is it doing that?
This is quite odd. The screen saying the NAS is in safe mode and the RAIDar status don't seem to jive at all. With that RAIDar status, you won't be able to download logs (if there even are any accessable).
The first thing is to identify the bad drive and try booting with just the others. Hopefully, the NAS will then be able to sort things out. I'm suspecting that one bad drive is creating problems across the entire SATA system.
