ReadyNas Duo V2

Hi

Recently one of my 2tb became corrupted which was reported to me via email.

I removed the drive, put it in an external caddy and deleted the volumes on this drive using a Windows 7 machine.

I have placed it back into the ReadyNas Duo v2 and it has started rebuilding it.

Its running really slow to rebuild the drive (170 kbs), am I best off letting it attempt to rebuild or just buying a new drive.

Both drives are identical and I used the HCL for reference when buying them.

Appreciate the help in advance.

    What message did you get in the email?

    Did you test the drives with vendor tools?
  • Apologies I didnt get a email originally - the NAS device wouldnt load after a reboot, and I managed to work out through general troubleshooting that one of the drives was causing the drama.

    What vendor tools do you mean, like western digital tools to check the drive?

    Yes. WDC's Lifeguard is their Diagnostic.
  • Ended up running the WD Diagnostic tool and finding a fault with the drive.

    Thanks for your help :)
