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...
So, I decided to simply replace the HDD with a Western Digital 2TB, since it's the cheapest option to begin with.
If it doesn't solve my problem, I replace the NAS box and keep my 2 x 2TB HDDs, then when I run out of space I upgrade them, helps spread the cost a bit!
Anyway, wanted to say thanks for all your input and to ask just one more question.
It's been a while since I've needed to read/do this, but I assume I can simply open the front door on the NAS, take out the faulty disk, insert the new one, and it'll automatically sync the new drive to the existing without me needing to do anything right?
Thanks again,
Dex
