Disk Failure Detected...
I've recently purchased a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 along with 6 2 Tb Seagate ST2000DL003 disks (which are on the HCL). I've set up the NAS in a dual redundancy X-RAID2 configuration and have starting copyi...
The problem lies with Netgear. Period. They put the drives on the HCL. They make these work, refund the drive purchase price, refund the NAS purchase price, or wind up in small claims court. I've already talked to an attorney on this. We didn't roll the dice with these drives; Netgear said they would work. I don't care if they take the off the HCL - I have copies of the original when they were on there.
With that off my chest...
I had another drive failure last night, and this time, Time Machine was disabled. I was restoring (AGAIN) from another drive and it blew up under load. I guess I've been naive with my "Time Machine" connection - Time Machine creates load when there are a lot of changes, and this is when I would get the failures.
My L3 says that they have someone from Seagate coming to their facility to work with them on the issue. There's no exact time frame but I'm giving it two weeks. I can't afford to sit on a $1000 purchase (total) that is basically a paperweight now. With the price of drives at the moment, I'm not about to just pitch the old ones and buy news ones that are "on the HCL". How am I supposed to have any faith in the HCL at this point anyway?
Frustrating. The L3 techs have been helpful, but helpful doesn't solve the problem.
