Every HDD I put in Pro Pioneer fails: What is wrong?
So I started getting creeping SMART errors on disk 4 (2TB WD2003FYYS) of my Readynas Pro Pioneer. Seeking to avoid a calamity, I checked the HCL, asked around the Readynas forums and decided on a Netg...
Thanks for your help, Chirpa. There's something definitely weird going on.
As to the possibly bad backplane, what can I do about that?
Just to update you on where I'm at:
I bought another HDD, this time a Seagate 2TB (ST2000DM001) and installed it in another, identical bare bones Pro Pioneer I borrowed from a friend. Both Pro Pioneers run RAIDiator 4.2.25.
My friend's Pro Pioneer started up, found the Seagate drive, formatted it and a few minutes later, Voila! A new (non-redundant) NAS.
OK, so I take this Seagate drive and swap it back into my Pro Pioneer. The NAS starts, finds the new Seagate and proceeds to oscillate back and forth between Drive Failed/Drive Passed on the LED.
Eventually, the Pro Pioneer decides to Resync, which is what it's doing now. Fingers crossed.
My questions:
1. Should the resync fail, is my data at risk (or will the NAS just go back to being non-redundant as it was before)?
2. Can I simply take my drives and replace them in my friend's Pro Pioneer for now so I can get back up and running?
What are any caveats or things I should know based on what I wrote above?
As always, your continued assistance is warmly received.
