HELP. RN Pro Pioneer Edition) Not turning on, but...
Last night, the NAS restarted itself (within 1 minute) after I shut it down for the night. This has happened before maybe just a handful of times. The solutions in the past as been to use turn switc...
Thanks guys for all the input. The depth of information and helpfulness of members in this forum is one huge reason I settled with a ReadyNAS device (vs. competitor's) back in 2009/2010. I know when warranty goes away or even for those small questions when warranty is still in effect, it is fellow users who often have valuable info, not the call center(s).
Just an update – I ordered the PS a few hrs ago from NewEgg and already received a shipping confirmation email, and I may get it as early as tomorrow since I used my ShopRunner account to order!
Questions:
1) I just noticed this PS I just ordered is rated at 300 watts. I believe this only means that it can deliver up to 300 watts if needed. The last I checked, my RNPP unit uses around 40-60 watts of power (with 4 1TB’s). Should I expect no change with power consumption with the new PS?
2) I would like some perspective from the ‘experts’ here. I now see that the PS is failing after only aftter 4 years of relatively light usage. I was also just in process of preparing to expand my storage capacity (at 80%) (that is another thread I started) when this PS issue came up.
Realistically, is it reasonable to for me to expect that this RNPP unit should still be operational say 10 years down the road without any major issues? I already have it for 4yrs or use + 10 years = approx. 15 years. This unit is for home use and mainly for family documents, pics and videos. Again, I normally have it running approx. 12 hrs/day , avg maybe 5 days/week. Some weeks, it is totally off.
This question is coming from a person who still have two Dell laptops 6-7 years old b/c they still do basic things like browsing the internet.
