Is hard-disk really dead?
Hi guys, I have a Readynas Pro 6 with 6x Hitachi 7K3000 2TB Drives. It's only been running for about 2 weeks & I've been mostly happy with it. It's running with X-RAID dual redundancy. From the ve...
Strange. I ordered two new 2GB Seagate drives and installed into a 6-bay pro (4.2.19-T4).
These were replacements for 1GBs in the same bays.
Replaced one drive at a time, waited for resync, and then for the Volume to expand. Replaced the 2nd drive, ditto.
All seemed well. 3 days later the Bay 1 reports--without ANY ATA errors, that the drive is DEAD. I connected the drive to an external box on my Mac, ran the SMART tests, and it says it has zero errors. I formatted the drive and its running now in the external box for testing.
In my haste, I had already put in a new (same specs) drive in Bay 1. The NAS shows Resync messages, etc. but Frontview still shows drive as DEAD. Even got emails telling me a new drive was installed, and an Email that the drive sync was complete. Nothing happened after the drive resync, so I rebotted. Now it is syncing Volume C: ... Frontview still says drive is DEAD.
coincidence that Bay 1 only has the problems. New drives, same behavior on Frontview as you???
