Readynas Ultra 4 goes to sleep
Hi I seem to have a problem with my Ultra 4 that started around the time of the upgrade to 4.2.27. The unit just seems to go to "sleep". It drops off Raidar and is not available through Windows...
Ok, been a while but I was doing everything remotely as this NAS was not at my home, I now have it.
Run Memory Test (10 passes), no issues.
Run Disk Test (twice), no issues.
Tested a few other things. Generally I can stream media for the NAS (well for at least 10 minutes without issue). Most of the time I can copy from the NAS, enough to get the critical data off it. The issue is still copying data to it. Within minutes my copies will fail and the NAS drops off the network.
I have bought a ReadyNas 104 to replace it. Disks from old NAS installed and rebuilding. Copied 100+gb, no issue, so I think the drives are ok.
Before I send my beloved original ReadyNas Ultra 4 to the scrap heap, any other suggestions?
