3 drive failures w/in 10 days of 4.2.22 upgrade? #19570015

I ended up with two RMAs on my Ultra 6, the first replacement one seemed to have power supply issues as it would randomly reboot. Ended up with a Pro 6, which is a nice bonus as it has NIC teaming (which I can use and which I wasn't aware the Ultra 6 didn't have).

From a disk point of view I ran the original Ultra 6 as 4.2.21 for a week with my "old" and "failing" seagate drives for over a week with no issues whatsoever (doing all kinds of high stress things like pulling disks and resyncing, etc) whilst running the latest RMA unit with a set of brand new western digital red drives. I then upgraded the original Ultra 6 to 4.2.22 again and saw the same old failures. Support were still convinced that it was the drives... At this point I decided to cut my losses and stick the 'bad' disks in the cupboard and send back the two RMA units and stop trying to help support work out what was actually going on.

So I now have 7 x 1.5tb seagate drives which I don't have a use for. BUT at least I now have a stable NAS...
