NVX Drive failed message when spindown is enabled
I've got an NVX populated with 4 x 2T Samsung F4 drives.
When I enable disk spindown the display on the NVX shows the message "Disk 3 failed", or "Disk 4 failed"
As far as I can tell the disks haven't failed as when I access the NVX after the spinup process all is well and all the data is accessible.
Has anybody else seen this issue or have any suggestions as to how to stop this odd behaviour.
Cheers
Richard

- Hi Richard,
I've got an NVX pioneer edition populated with 4 x 2T Caviar Green WD20EARS drive
I also have the spindown feature enabled on my NVX and I also experienced the message "Disk 3 failed", AND "Disk 4 failed"
My data is also accessible, and I don't experience any performance drops.
Because I didn't knew exactly what was going on, I replaced the two disks, but the message is still showing. Then, for a moment it even showed the message the disks being dead.
I think it has something to do with the latest ,radair and/or radiator update, because before the update I didn't have this message of disk failures, and I also had the spindown enabled.
Best,
Jeroen
