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....
Ahh, the more I think, the more confused I get :) or maybe better, :(
I now find this while searching a bit on drive beeping and wonder if its the NAS rather than the drives:
"Glad you got it sorted out! However, as other members suggested, it was basically a power issue. The hard drives creates such beeping sounds in case if it's unable to draw the required power from SMPS (or the SMPS is stubborn and not letting the drive to draw the power). "
And ow with new drives, even if I did try to isolate the drive with an external enclosure, if its drive one you say I may not be able to boot to drive two, so then what?
If there was a way to get around having to sync if I pull one or the other old drive, I could try this and see, But now, not sure if it is the actual NAS, and don't want to burn through $260 of new drives if that is not the issue. And need to do something to get this back online.
So, if I power and decide its a bad drive 1, I can pull that and stay online and sync to new drive? If it is not the bad drive, can I power down. Reinsert drive 1 and pull drive 2 and repower, put in new drive and sync?
Just really trying to measure twice and cut once. And minimize the potential of having to sync and lose a drive in the priocess making the situation worse.
