Act light flashing but nothing is connected.
Hi, not sure if I'm in the right section
I've noticed on my ultra 2+ that the activity light is flashing say twice or three times every 5 seconds or so. When it flashes I can hear my hard drives clicking and clunking away. Its doing this the whole time it's on. I thought this was odd as nothing that I knew about was or should be connected.
I have done some trouble shooting. I turned all my add ons off and still clunking away. I disconnected Ethernet cable and still going. I checked radar and disks are not resyncing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks - What is disk model of your Hitachi drive?can you download full logs and post smartctl logs here?
- Hi
Hard Disks are, Hitachi 0F12115 Deskstar 7K3000 3.5" / 2TB / SATA 6GB/s / 7200RPM / 64MB 30/07.
http://arc.com.au/pub.php?pid=43403&p=product
Are they just the logs I can see in front view? How can I download full logs of the hard disks?
Thanks - Anybody? Still clunking away
- Where the sytem logs are in frontview there should be a download all logs button click and browse to where ever you want to save them.
- Is this the log you were after?
