NV+ SODIMM failed after RAIDiator 4.1.13 [SOLVED]
Update 01/21/2014 -- replacing the SODIMM in the NV+ appears to have solved this problem. No idea why the memory failed shortly after the upgrade to 4.1.13, other than coincidence, Murphy's Law . . . ...
The answer is, "it depends".
I have asked the organization to confirm whether an external backup drive was up to date since I can't examine logs. If the backup is current, then getting the NAS running again is the #1 concern. That option means repair vs. replace costs and benefits.
Otherwise, I assume my option is borrowing/renting an NV+ from a friend and making a current backup. That's assuming the drives from a working NV+ can simply be removed and replaced with the four 240GB drives from the non-functioning NV+ temporarily -- long enough to copy the data.
Is it feasible to swap NV+ arrays like that?
