Readynas rnd2000 v2 firmware upgrade
After a recent power failure (despie being on UPS) my ReadyNAS no longer works. Both green drive leds are lit & the working(CPU..?) led flashes occasionally. The Blue power led gives 4 slow flashe...
That disk has failed very badly. With that high an error count presumably there would have been some SMART errors occurring for quite some time.
Replacing that disk with a new disk would certainly be worth a try.
Do you have a backup? Is that up to date?
Are you sure you have a v2? Your profile shows that you bought a v1 just over 5 years ago now.
Please see How to tell whether I have a Duo v1 or Duo v2 or NV+ v1 or NV+ v2
Do you have a backup?
Mine is definately a Version 1.....
but the model number sticker shows RND2000 v2
(I did try to make that plain in the post, but I had to try several times...seems the final post that eventually went was missing that bit)
One of your disks (probably disk 1) is bad
It has a current pending sector count of 24 and an ATA error count of 18970Have to admit - that doesnt mean much to me.
So if I replace that disk - it should fix the problem..??
I thought running raid - it would function with one disk down..??

The whole idea of having the Raid server was to provide safe (backedup in the array) storage.
Thank you for your help so far - I will drive down to town today16th Feb & get another Hard Drive.
That will mean I wont be back until later on 17th Feb.
Will let you know how it goes..
I understand that after replacing the bad disk the system is now working fine and you are proceeding to do a backup. It's advisable to backup your data regularly. RAID provides redundancy and is very useful, but it's not a replacement for backing up your data. Don't store important data on just the one device, no matter what that device is.
