disk 2 failure on pro
ok i have a dead disc in my r/nn pro . it is saying it is dead . the unit is 96% full .. can i replace (add) a drive with with bigger space say 2/3tb . could i replace it with something like this Tosh...
First you'd need to upgrade your firmware, since 4.2.9 doesn't support 4K drives. 4.2.24 is the current version, so you are seriously behind.
After the upgrade, you'd replace the bad disk with the NAS running, It should resync.
I have no recommendation either way on the Toshiba. Generally I'd suggest a WDC WD30EFRX or a Seagate ST3000VN000 - both are designed for NAS, and have good warranties. I am running several of the WD30EFRX in my Pro-6, and have had good success. There are a couple of posts that suggest that newly purchased WDC WD30EFRX might have an issue with load-cycle-count - so you might want to go with the Seagate.
On the warranty, if you were given the pro new, then you probably could register it and take advantage of the warranty. Note that there were "pro pioneer" models that only had 3 year warranties, only the pro business models have 5 year.
