Hi there. Newbie to this forum and indeed owning a ReadyNAS Duo.
I have recently setup my new empty DUO with a Western Digital disk (Western Digital WD20EARS 2TB Hard Drive SATAII 64MB Cache - OEM Caviar Green). My intention is to drop the second WD disk in over the next few days, once I've copied over a load more files onto the first disk.
I logged into RAIDar this evening and was presented with the same warning message as above - ATA Error Count increasing from 6 to 12 (see below). Oddly, the initial status screen has a green light against the disk, which I think suggests all is ok?? ((WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 1862 GB , 31 C / 87 F , Write-cache ON))
Any guidance appreciated (simple please!)
Many thanks
