NV+ Bad Disk #1... Replace with unit on or off?
Hello, I'm having some issues booting an NV+ with a bad disk (unit has 4x 750GB ST3750640AS in XRAID.) Initial problem was reported as a dropped network share for the local workstations accessin...
I wouldn't attempt to correct, instead I'd just see if they pass the generic tests and look at the SMART data. If seatools doesn't show SMART data, then Acronis Drive Monitor is one freeware tool that will.
At this point I'm thinking that you might need to use either a data recovery service or a data recovery tool of some sort. I have no experience with either though.
One option is to rebuild the NAS with 2x2TB drives (for instance WD20EFRX), and keep the existing drives intact. That would give you more space and 2 expansion slots. If you have 3 failing disks it probably is the same price or cheaper.
BTW, label them by slot as you remove them for testing.
