Disk Failure Detected...

I'm almost convinced at this point that it is a Time Machine compatibility problem; there seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence piling up that would suggest that the problem lies there. It doesn't make me feel any better - Time Machine AND these drives were supported when I bought the NAS. Right now I have my Ultra 4+ sitting here in "Debug Mode" waiting for a Level 3 engineer to log in and poke around. My guess is that they will find exactly what they found the last time they logged in: nothing.

I'm tempted to use another backup program to see if the problem persists. Carbon Copy Cloner would probably work for me, and it would be interesting to see how long it would go without failure running that instead of Time Machine. The problem with that is, well... I let Netgear off the hook and they end up closing my case without actually SOLVING the problem. Plus, I do like Time Machine for what it is and leverage it on multiple machines here.

Does everyone here have a case open for this? I would be curious to see how many there are, plus it might be helpful to reference other cases in our own cases to keep support focussed. I would especially like to see what Plan finds out, as his unit failed when the tech was logged in!
