Help swapping "dead" drive? [Case #15693780]
Hey all, I have an NV+ that is about 2 months old. I fired it up and loaded it with all of our data, backed up all files from PC's etc...it has 4 x 2TB WD Green Caviar drives at this point. All is wel...
More fun! Just for kicks, I popped this drive back in the NV+ to see what might happen. NAS shows green across the board in RAIDar, with a new symptom on disk 3:
Standard health report when hovering over the green indicator PLUS this "; 16 ATA Errors"
And this on loading Frontview:
"ATA error count has increased in the last day. Disk 3: Previous count: 0 Current count: 16 Growing SMART errors indicate a disk that may fail soon. If the errors continue to increase, you should be prepared to replace the disk."
Still shows as not present in Frontview. Is this disk going to survive a possible clone attempt? I think I will shut down and leave it off until I have a chance to locate some replacements.
Thanks again for all the help everyone. Final question: am I wiser to ditch the WD disks altogether? I know Hitachi is a little more expensive, but those don't have these types of issues with ReadyNAS devices, do they? Sigh.
