Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166

So finally got around to upgrading my drives to CC3D and they are running with X-raid 2 on my readynas nv+ v2 but
not luck. Transferring around 6GB worth of data it craps out about half way, connection is lost to the box and
i have to pull the powercord.

Running 5.3.6

Any ideas?

You could try opening a support case.

I've had 4 of these drives (the 301's) with the CC32 firmware running in my Ultra4+ for about a year and a half with no problems. I recently upgraded from a few versions old to 4,2,22 and suddenly have a lot of problems as others have described here. I found an interesting article here: http://niallbest.com/seagate-2tb-st3200 ... e-upgrade/. Haven't tried the force firmware update yet, but am going to have to do something.

Just following up...The replacement drives I got are 302 and the label says cc3c. Do i need to upgrade to cc3d. If so where can I find the download? Seems like seagate firmware download link is broken?

There is no seagate link on this thread.

Anyway, the link you should use is https://apps1.seagate.com/downloads/request.html

Quick update on what's happened:

I returned the first 2 drives to Seagate on 5th Oct. Today I received emails saying they were sending them back unrepaired. This despite @AskSeagate opening a case for me, advising they needed to be replaced by 302s; despite my speaking to the warranty department, who agreed they needed to be replaced by 302s; despite my emailing the warranty department with my RMA numbers so that they could ensure the drives were replaced by 302s; and despite my including letters with the drives asking that they be replaced by 302s, and referencing the case number, my twitter conversation with @AskSeagate, and my phone and email conversation with the warranty department.

So far then, a lot of noise from different parts, but no real progress.

In the meantime, while away last week, another drive dropped out of the array.

Thanks for this. I can finally upgrade the firmware on my replacement drives now.

Question. I was wondering if it would be possible to make byte-to-byte images of my current 4 drives (three of which dropped off in the nas) to four new drives using r-studio or r-linux, pop the newly images ones into the ready nas.

Anyone know if it will it work? ;p

Cloning drives can work, though if they were removed at different times the RAID array will likely be corrupt.

You'd need to insert them with the ReadyNAS powered down, as a hot-insert would be treated as a new drive.

I will give it a shot and see if I can get it to work. Right now I'm pretty helpless, three drives dropped off the array and no 3rd backup. :(

When I boot the NAS from all four drives I can see all the shares but when I try to access them it tells me it's "not available".
