HD failure - please advise
Hi all, Today my ReadyNas Ultra decided one of my 2 drives was dead :-( Both drives are: Seagate ST32000542AS I can't seem to find a replacement of the exact model (assume it's been superseded...
The hot swap is (in my opinion) actually somewhat safer, as the NAS detects the drive removal and insertion, and doesn't have to figure out that you are inserting a new drive. Also it means that you don't have to boot the NAS again. However, a cold swap of a blank disk should also work.
Replacement is that simple - though of course things can go wrong, which is why you want the backup updated first.
