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. Disc statuses. SO I shut down. Waited a few minutes and restarted and could hear clicking. Raidar said file checking and reported no errors. All now "seems" fine.
What can you tell me? If this is failing, is it the Nas or a disk? And if a disk, which one? And what to do to catch the issue before I lose data?
A little beside myself as so much on here of value to me and if I need to replace the NAS, not even sure how I can save all my settings, add-ons and configurations to build a new one.
Can someone please walk me through a process here? Would be much appreciated!
Oooops. Just beeped again. Odd beep. Almost like a violin string if that helps at all.

- OK, new drive one now synced and went to replace drive two to resync and pressing the "button" does not release the lever to rempove the drive.
Suggestions? - Here's the trick: viewtopic.php?p=30550 The release at "B" works easiest for me, though I have used them both. Maybe print the picture, once these things start jamming they don't quit.
The newer trays have a redesigned mechanism that doesn't jam that way. - Wow. You have been around these things, eh?
OK, new drive in slot 2 and syncing. Hopefully this solves all issues.
The new WD Red's run cooler, too, fwiw. Not much, but maybe 3 degrees C.
Thanks Stephen.
~Bob - Yes, the Reds are cooler (because they use less power).
Sounds like you are all set. After everything resyncs, you might want to do a complete backup.
