RNDU6000 won't boot - faulty PSU or bricked NAS?
Hi everybody, I have a Ultra 6000 which has been performing flawlessly for about three years now. I recently upgraded my drivers to 6 x 4TB and that whole process went quite smooth. I lost some dat...
Hi all,
thanks for your suggestions. Let me try to answer them as well as I can.
Ixa: I have tried to boot the ReadyNAS without any drives; it doesn't change anything I'm afraid. The display shows 'ReadyNAS', the LEDs light up (blue power, green above backup button), and that's it. And it's correct that I don't have a backup yet; I was still in the process of putting my data from other discs back to the NAS.
Stephen: I'm using six WD40EFRX's. I have not tried one drive yet; I will try to do that tomorrow. I will look into the RN516 option. I'm glad to hear my discs should migrate without data loss to another Ultra 6 or a Pro 6. If I were to purchase the secondhand Pro 6, how would I migrate the discs? If I insert all my discs into the Pro 6, wouldn't it want to do a factory reset by itself?
Also, tomorrow I'm going to try to rule out the PSU..measure some things to try to determine if it puts out the right volts and amps. I've done some research and it seems, though the Netgear NAS-es themselves are built like tanks, the Sea Sonic PSU's can be a weak spot.
Thanks again and great holidays to you guys,
Ruud
