ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2 ... or is it? Underside label suggests so, but Serial number suggests v1.
Hi there.
BACKGROUND
- Just wanting to do some general housekeeping on my ReadyNAS Duo, as all this UK heat has caused a one of my RAID disks to fail.
- I need to procure a new 2TB SATA dis...
Thanks so much for the prompt reply StephenB! Brilliant.
Ok - so I think my main job then, is to focus on mirroring the working RAID disk onto a new SATA. I've actually got a "Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Desktop Hard Drive 3.5" SATA III 6GB's 7200RPM 64MB Cache". Desperately hoping this will be ok.
As the NAS over-heated in the recent UK hot weather, I've put the Seagate disk into slot 1 and left it for 48 hours. Blue power light 'stuck on' and green disk light for Disk 1 flashing on/off, Disk 2 green light 'on' (the good disk). I reckon there's 1.5TB to mirror but I'm wondering if it's hung. I can't see the NAS on the network. It was fine with just the working Disk 2 in the unit - I could see it on the network.
Any advice about doing a factory re-set (or similar) before I attempt this hot-swap/mirror again?
Many thanks

Barracudas don't have a great reputation for use in RAID arrays, particularly the 3 TB models. The WD20EFRX and the Ironwolf will both run a lot cooler.

Both disks are installed? And RAIDar can't find the NAS? https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
Try powering down, removing the new seagate and powering up without it. Confirm that the NAS is operating normally, and your data is still accessible. Then try hot-inserting the seagate (with the NAS running), and see what happens. It should begin to resync automatically, and data should still be accessible.
