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 suggestions you made didn't seem to apply to my device. My NV+ V2 didn't have those options available anywhere.
Anyway, i'm using a ST33000651AS, ST3000DM001, and HDS723030ALA640. All of which are on the HCL of course. I've verified them with the manufacturer diag tools with the advanced/long tests. I had to warranty one of the drives because of a diag failure so i've been waiting on the new disk. But now they're finally all good and pass the tests.
I am still getting the random drive fail issue though. I contacted netgear support and they suggested i do the OS reinstall on the device. I thought that worked because after resyncing, it never sent me an email about a drive issue. After i got home from work, i was all excited to find that the drives still listed as redundant and active. But about 10 seconds after accessing the Health page, Drive 1 flipped to inactive and failed.
I'm assuming that this means that the drive went to sleep or went into a power-save mode, and due to inactivity the NAS had not checked it until i called up the Health page.
Is it possible that ReadyNAS is completely intolerant of having to wait for a drive to spin up?
I've warrantied the device once, factory reset it who knows how many times, replaced and tested all the drives, and ran the OS reinstall. What else could it be?
