Sadly, downgraded product
Well, one week after receiving my ReadyNas Duo V2, here is my feedback : this thing is a joke, and a pretty bad one. I received confirmation today from L3 tech support that RAIDiator version 5.3.5 ...
According to your post in the other thread, you purchased the diskless version of the Duo v2. When I set up my first ReadyNAS some 5 years ago, I had a premature failure of one disk (out of a two disk array). I replaced it with one of the same model and then RMA'd the failed drive to Seagate. The disk that did not fail then ran for some three years (over 25,000 hours) before being replace with a larger drive. The replacement disk also ran for over 25,000 hours. The replacement disk sent by Seagate was a larger drive and place in other sevice. All three drives are still functional, although not in a RAID array.
You might try returning the drive to the store that supplied it if possible, failing that, RMA it with the manufacturer of the drive.
One thing you can count on is that all hard drives will fail. That's about as certain as death and taxes. We just don't know when the drive will fail. Some, as you have found, fail very early, while others will run for years before they fail.
