ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List

I just received my 1.5TB Seagate ST31500341AS from Newegg and installed it, but it didn't work. I had updated my firmware first to 4.1.4 and rebooted it. I am currently running 4 750GB Seagates in X-Raid. I received this error message in my log "Disk fail event occurred on SATA channel 1.\n\nIf this disk is used in a redundant volume (RAID level 1, 5, or X-RAID), that volume is unprotected, and an additional disk failure may render that volume dead. You should replace the failed disk as soon as possible. Note that some disks may inadvertantly report failure. If you feel this is the case, rebooting the NAS device will automatically resync the disk to the RAID volume. If you get further failure messages, you should replace the disk immediately.\n\nIf this disk is used in a RAID 0 volume, your volume is now dead as RAID 0 does not provide disk failure protection.\n\n\n[Wed Oct 1 21:09:07 HST 2008] Oct 1 21:09:14 nas-01-27-BF RAIDiator: Access to the disk on channel (??) is producing I/O errors. Although the array is still redundant, please replace this drive as soon as possible, as it is likely to fail soon. When this occured, I wasn't able to use Raidar nor Frontview to see the activity on the NAS and I wasn't able to power down the NAS. But, when I pulled the 1.5TB drive out, access to both Raidar and Frontview was accessible again. Hope there is a fix for this soon or maybe I was doing something wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rainbowman,

Support for the Seagate 1.5TB drives is in the latest release (4.1.4) that it looks like you downloaded already. The problem you are reporting looks like it could actually be a bad drive. What I would recommend is to use Seatools on the drive to verify if the drive is OK or not. If you are unfamiliar with Seatools please let me know and I will help you out.
