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....

W500? Anyway, I believe that doesn't have eSata (though my T410 does).
For off-line testing (and potentially data recovery) you can get a USB 2.0 ->SATA adapter kit (with a power brick for the disk) for $10-$20 on line. $30-$40 if you want USB 3.0 All of these should work with 2 TB drives. A 3.5 inch USB drive enclosure is also a way to connect your existing drives (one at a time) to your laptop. The enclosure would also let you re-use the good existing drive for NAS backup later on. Just pointing out that these are options for you.
Resync does take a while, and it does require every sector on the old drive to be read (so it can be mirrored on the new one).
