New disk failed after sync. How do I recover?

kossboss,

Sorry, I don't know how I missed your post. The forum was showing no replies after my comment on the 5th. Now they are there. :?

I'm willing to test the slot, but first here is/was my setup...

I have always had been using the 3 slots, just upgrading to larger drives to increase capacity.
Up until 2 weeks ago, I had this setup:

Slot 1 - 1TB drive
Slot 2 - 1TB drive
Slot 3 - 1TB drive

Two weeks ago, I started replacing the drives one by one, letting them resync each time. So when I reached the 3rd drive, it was like this:

Slot 1 - 2TB drive
Slot 2 - 2TB drive
Slot 3 - 1TB drive

I then replaced the drive in Slot 3 with the Seagate. It resynced overnight and reported success the next morning. That evening, RAIDAR reported the drive as failed.

So, for years, I've been using that slot...ever since buying the NV+ back in 2007.

Based on that knowledge, if you still think it might be a bad slot, let me know and I will do the test you recommend. I just wanted to make sure you weren't thinking I was using the slot for the first time.

Thanks!
