Detailed SMART Status for Drives ?

Hi.  Long time ReadyNAs user here - all the way back to Infrant.

 

I just replaced my 3x Pro6 units with 3x RN424s.  I can't access the detailed SMART status now that I used to see under Health Status.  What's provided now is very cursory - no info on errors, on-time, power ons etc etc.  As this is my only machine with a direct access to a STATA connector (all the other ones are Macs). it's really usefull to have this detailed info.  USB drive connections are no use.

 

Is there an add-on that would provided this ?

Thanks

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    I agree that there are more information being provided on the legacy NAS compared to the newer OS 6 versions.

     

    You can see the complete info on disk_info.log. Also, you can submit idea on the Ideas exchange board or others might have requested this as well.

     

    Hope this helps!

      Thanks - just what I was looking for.

      I sold a drive to a joker who reported that it was a bad drive.    He then sent me a SMART page from another drive with cut/paste on top outlining my drive's details.  When I sent him back the actual SMART status page from the ReadyNAS, I heard no more from him !

      That's one reason for the detailed page.

        Yeah that is a good reason to get info from the get go without looking any further. Your buyer thought he got you :D

         

         

        Hope we have help!
