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I can't seem to find a replacement of the exact model (assume it's been superseded )
Not sure what I should replace it with - I *thought* it was best to always have all raid drives the same. Can see various options on the compatibility list but thought I should ask first!
thanks!!

- Sometimes expansion / resync does need a reboot (there seems to be a bit of mystery involved).
I'm glad it is working. - Other drive has died now!!!
Does seem rather suspicious they die very near to each other - though you could argue that's correct as they were new/fresh at the same time.
Do many others experience death of drives at fairly similar times???
Cheers - There are many posts here from folks who had drives fail in rapid succession. That is one reason why it is important not to depend on RAID for backup.
- how long did you have the drives for?
