Where do I get additional drive trays? (forReadyNAS Ultra 2)
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 [X-RAID2] w/RAIDiator 4.2.21 and I need at least two more drive trays. I can't believe that no one sells extra drive trays. Any legit RAID system will have extra drive tra...
Apart from replacing a failed drive there really is no need for a spare drive tray. Even then it doesn't take long to remove four screws etc. whereas a resync will take hours. Unless you need to send the drive to someone who would struggle to do that and get them to install it, I don't really see the need for a spare drive tray.
As for rotating backups off-site I hope you don't remove the drives from inside the ReadyNAS but rather use e.g. USB disks. Handling drives bare you risk damaging them through Electro Static Discharge without realising it. Not to mention the risk of damaging SATA connectors through repeated pulls. SATA connectors are only designed for a limited number of pulls.
