resinch a dieing disk or add new disk & resinch?
Apologies again. I posted the same message in the "Test" board, and got complete unnoticed / unseen. As it is rather urgent, I am re-posting it here, where I hope it will be seen. I could not find a b...
Quick update. As expected HD1 passed the Surface Test from Disk Genius and EaseUs (which took 6h 50minutes).
I knew that I had various version of Acronis Disk Commander, but none of them seemed to work, so I downloaded and then installed a newer version but that also had no diagnostic tools on it.
Few minutes ago I realised that you said Acronis Drive Monitor which I have just downloaded.
Last night I eventually hot-inserted HD4 in bay 1, NAS checked it briefely and after a minute or so started resynching. It took 12h40m and now it is 100% synched. Volume is 5.9TB, 1.8 TB availlable.
I have not (as yet) encountered any evidence of data loss, but I have hardly accessed NAS, apart from checking some video files. These files were part of a set (50Gb of files) which were probably the latest files copied to NAS - infact they might have been copied at the same time that the fault occurred.
I will run the Acronis diagnostic test on HD1 and will report.
Thanks again
