HDD Failing? ("Reallocated sector count has increased...")
Hi All, I'm after some help/advice please. I have a Ready NAS duo (sparc, which I think is v1), with 2 x 2TB HDDs in RAID (mirrored), however, for a looooong time now I've been getting the message...
2958 bad sectors is failed, there isn't any point testing it. Try booting the NAS w/o it. Do you have a backup?
If you want to keep the duo, I'd get a WD20EFRX to replace the failed disk. It works fine (I have one in my duo). It's not on the compatibility list (but that's not a concern since you are out of warranty anyway). The duo v1 HCL is too old to be useful.
The new RN202 is a nice replacement option. It's much faster than the duo, and has a MSRP of $360. You'll have to wait a bit for it to reach the retailers though.
The RN102 is less expensive than the RN202, and still is 3x faster than what you have now.
