NV+ (v1) PSU died
Hi ReadyNASians, So my faithful NV+ died a few days ago due to the PSU overheating. I was greeted with the familiar smell of melted PCB components and found my ReadyNAS powered down and unable to p...
PSU arrived yesterday - just 2 days after my initial phone call. Unfortunately, it had been badly packed and was badly damaged - twisted base and bent PSU, looking as if it had been dropped from a considerable height. As the white box in which it comes does not have any foam wrapping around the PSU and as it had been shipped in a plastic bag without any bubble wrap at all, there was absolutely no protection against an accidental drop.
After notification, Netgear sent out another one the next day and it arrived with some bubble wrapping, but still not really enough had it been dropped badly. But luckily it had not come to any harm even though you could tell that it had been subjected to a corner impact where there was very little warp.
Both units came from the local branch here in Australia which explains the fantastic turn around time - well done Netgear.
After installation, I re-inserted all the 4 drives, and it booted up straight away without requiring a File System check. I guess I was very lucky that I was able to power it down whilst the PSU was still working, otherwise the FS check would have taken nearly a full day with my 4 x 2TB drives and nearly 4TB in use.
