RN2120 - device offline issue #25406155
Hi, Not sure if I'm posting to an appropriate topic, but it seems that I have a problem with RN2120 - it gets to a "device offline" error right after booting up. The drives are WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 ...

FWIW, the drives are spec'd at 600,000 load cycles, so you are nowhere close to the danger zone on that.
I don't know what caused your off-line problem, but it isn't the load cycle count per se.
There was a short window of time where WDC was setting the parking threshold incorrectly. You might have received drives shipped in that window. WDC has a tool you can download that will fix it (it runs under Windows).
