Hi dav3953,
Have you checked if these drives are listed in our HCL? Also, have you considered installing a fresh one?
Kind regards,

Hi dav3953,
Thanks for the information. If that's the case, we couldn't tell if these drives are still healthy enough for you to use them in your system. Using a fresh drive or a spare (that works) would tell us if this is a problem with the chassis or not.
Kind regards,

The drives seem to be ok, I have fitted a new drive, nothing changed,
The problem i have now is the unit is not seen by RAIDar and the fan runs at top speed for ever!
Is the unit broken?
