ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List

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.

I'd like to run Seatools to check one of the drives installed on my ReadyNAS. It has been reporting warning messages pretty much since I got it (about 7 months ago) saying the following:

> Reallocated sector count has increased in the last day.

> Current count: 16
> Growing SMART errors indicate a disk that may fail soon. If the errors continue to increase, you should be prepared to replace the disk.

Anyways, I have the impression that running Seatools is intended for internal drives or external drives which you connect to via USB. I however connect to the drives in my ReadyNAS via my local network. Will Seatools work given this setup?

Thanks in advance.
