readynas duo v2 disk failed ..
hi guys not completely familiar with all this so i need some advice please. I have a very old readynas duo thats been chugging along for years, however, one of the drives have failed (2 Gb) so maybe ...
I'm sure the Guru's will be along soon. Meanwhile a few questions.
Are you sure it's a V2? Check the labeling on the front door. If it just says Duo, it's a V1 despite what other labeling says. See pic below.
Are you able to still access your data on the remaining drive? If so, I would recommend backing up your stuff before attempting any repairs. I would also not shut it down until everything's backed up.
In theory, you would just swap out the bad drive for the new one and it would start the rebuild. Something to consider is the age of your remaining drive. The heavy activity rebuilding the mirror could cause the other drive to fail.
