RN214 replacement tray
Sorry for bringing up a small issue, but I'm trying to find out how I can go about ordering or replacing a disk tray for the RN214D42-100NES NAS system. Had my trays stacked on the table while repla...
There is a plastic insert that can be removed (then you'd attach the disk using screws through the bottom of the tray). But I'm not sure if it's the insert that's damaged, or something else.
Understood and ty. I thought it was only me having issues trying to find a replacement tray due to the lack of questions regarding it. Will hold on to see if the moderators jump into the conversation, but will keep the link available in case they don't. Want to get my NAS up and operational again as soon as possible so I can use the cloud features again, but I should have just allowed the hours needed to rebuild each drive one at a time instead of pulling them all at once and upgrading to all larger drives. The broken corner of the plastic piece on the end, it shouldn't be so much of an issue if you look at it but it does mess with the alignment and the drives stability when inserted.

Can you post a photo?
I'll have to do it when I get home. Traveling now and not going to be home till next week. Been looking for a replacement tray for over a week now, but didn't think to take a picture of the damaged one. But the damage was on the bottom of the rear portion facing out where the plastic of the lock mechnism met the metal of the tray. When inserted which I had to pay attention to make sure the drive didn't tilt to lock it into the drive connector and the tray starts moving slightly when the hard drive spins up.

Not sure of the solution but will try when I get home. Accidently hit the solution when I was trying to navigate on my phone. If I remember right, the plastic was attached to the metal by clips or screws, but not too sure. But will check when I get home on monday. My question is, will it still stay secured against the vibrations of the hard drive when spinning?
