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....

Hi again,
I was unable to get out to buy drives today but started thinking.
Any reason I cannot pull one drive when powered down, power up and if no beeps I know I got lucky. Then run on one drive until I get the second. Or, if it does beep, power down and swap drives and power up. This way, there would be no reason to resync at any point until I had at least one new drive in. I think this is my major concern as if I pull the wrong drive, then put in the pulled drive hot and resync, could take hours of beeping and stress on the bad drive.
You seem to favor all hot swapping Stephen, so had to ask if this works or not.
Thanks.
