HDD hours
With my Thecus NAS their web app allows you to see how many hours a particular HDD has been "spinning".
So that helps with determining when to replace HDDs, taking into account MTBF, for exampl...
Actually it is in the web app!
In the Performance tab, hover your mouse over the colored circle to the right of the disk, as you can see below:

So it is :smileyhappy:
But it's not shown in the other two places where you can see SMART status (hovering over the disk on the volume tab, or clicking on the volume settings wheel and selecting "disks"). All of these should show the same information :smileyfrustrated:
Agreed!!!
I checked those two other places first.
And then I remembered those circles in the Performance tab.
It is not "intuitive".
Given that is is a NAS the "health" of the HDDs , their "spinning time" and other metrics are paramount and should be highly visible.
It would be great if their was a Disk Health tab which had information about the disks there. Various error counts. Power-on Hours. Etc
Even better would be some warnings, saying you should replace the HDDs because you have exceeded the warranty by 200 days or the Power-On Hours are greater than the warranty period. Or at least give such stats.
The HDDs are on the HCL so Netgear should put the meta data about these HDDs into the webapp. Or at least give you that option.
