ReadyNAS Duo v1 HDD replacement problems
Computer: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS laptop Device: Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v1 HDD1: Seagate Barracuda 72000.12 ST31000528AS 1TB (Firmware: CC38) HDD2: Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB (Firmware: CC29) HDD...
The second disk installed regardless of slot (or disk 2 if factory done with two disks installed) is the dedicated parity disk. Both disks have the OS & data on them.
If the SeaGate wasn't working before I'm not sure I would want to try using it again. I don't see the point in moving disks around to different slots.
The NAS should be able to handle either disk failing. You can replace the dead disk with a new disk to rebuild the RAID.
You will need both disks to be 2TB for the volume to expand.
