ReadyNAS Pro disk in bay 5 keeps failing [17175701]
This has been driving me insane. When I try to copy a LOT of files off the ReadyNAS one of the disks starts reporting as failed. It seems to be either channel 5 or channel 2. I've replaced the f...
Primarily it is accessed from 4 different Mac's but it is also accessed from Windows machines but not as often.
The Mac's use it as the file store for their iTunes libraries and for Aperture libraries. We also store all our software downloads on there and make use of the FTP server over the internet for easy access to files while on the road. The most important data is the music and picture libraries.
The main reason I wanted to get a full file backup that caused this issue was so that i could do a factory reset after replacing the last two 1TB drives with 2TB drives so i could get dual disk redundancy on the RAID-X2 array. This would give me about roughly 7-8TB of storage of which i was going to dedicate 2TB to an iSCSI volume for use with my VMWare ESXi Test lab machine. The iSCSI volume would not need backups, it's transient and test labs can be rebuilt if needs be. So in reality I'd only need to backup capabilities for about 5-7TB so the Ultra 4 as a backup unit is probably doable with the right size disk in it.
