Readynas Ultra6 horrible experience: 4 drives dead now!

vertigo2712 - it may be bad luck with the drives or it may be bad luck with the NAS. Unless there is a problem in the PSU though, I don't see how any NAS could destroy a HD.

I shut down the unit and the drive with the light off was cool to the touch while the other drive was warm.
I have had a Pro 6 for several months so far, with no problems. It had two Hitachi 3TB green drives and two Seagate 1TB drives until a little over a month ago when the Seagates were replaced with 1TB WD Red WD10EFRX and this weekend the Hitachis were replaced with WD30EFRX drives.
I would be more inclined to blame the drives.
