Readynas DUO: Second WD20EARS drive never works.
Hi, I am new to the forums and totally new to the Netgear ReadyNAS products so excuse me if I do something wrong. I looked at the FAQ but couldn't find a prompt answer to my question. I bought a...
Funny...
Deja Vu story for me. Bought Ultra 2 Plus with two WD20EARS. Mounted both drives and ran the device. The second disk reported dead.
Fortunately the store replaced the disk (wasted one week).
Then I couldn't get Ultra 2 to work and ended up with "Corrupt Root".
Tried all the magic with hard reset, etc.
Finally contacted support and they replaced the device. I got new Ultra 2.
This time I used only one HDD. The second landed in external enclosure as a real backup (not RAID 1).
The story is not going to happy end. Ultra 2 is horribly noisy. Cannot stand it in neither my bedroom not living room. I guess I will sell it soon.
