Beeeping plus - please advise quickly
Hi folks, ReadyNas Duo. All has been fine, but just started beeping. Once - a few seconds later and again. A little later three times, etc. I checked Raidar and Raidiator and all shows fine. Temps....

Log into frontview, select system and then config backup on the left pane. Not much point in the 50 MB data backup, so I'd de-select that and select everything else.
Yes try removing one drive when powered (I suggest drive 2). After you've confirmed the beep status, reinsert it and wait for frontview to confirm resync is complete. If the beep continues, try again with the other drive.
Once you've confirmed that its a drive (and know which one), you can replace it. It doesn't need to be the same model, but it does need to be the same size. WDC Red 2 TB is a good choice. I've seen too many issues posted here with recent seagate drives to recommend them. Also, I'd avoid WDC green drives.
