ReadyNAS reporting drive failure
I previously had 3x Seagate 1.5 TB drives in my ReadyNAS NV+ (v1).
Recently, it reported a drive failure on drive #3, and sure enough, it was making a horrible noise. The drives I have aren't in production anymore, so I replaced it with a 2TB Seagate (ST2000DM001).
It was recognized and successfully rebuilt. However, since that initial replacement, the ReadyNas has reported a disk failure several times, all on this new disk. I pull the disk out, put it back in, and it thinks everything is fine again and rebuilds (succcessfully). A week or so later, it reports it as failed again.
Is this a drive problem? A ReadyNAS problem? Is there a way for me to see why it is failing the drive?
Thanks

- What are the SMART stats on the new drive?
- The disk is initializing since it failed it out earlier this afternoon, and it won't let me get to the SMART info yet. I'll check it once it comes back up.
