Trying to replace a bad drive, but working drive may be mid-sync
I had a drive go out on my ReadyNAS - I *think* maybe when a sync was taking place. The bad drive was in the left bay, and was making a clicking sound. Even after removing it though, the NAS wasn't working. Frontview wouldn't load, but I could ssh into the unit and see the remaining drive.
The failed drive was under warranty, but with the new drive installed the fans stay on loudly with a slowling flashing blue light on the front. Without it the fan is quiet and but blue light flashes quickly.
I see the following under /var/log/frontview/enclosure.log:
fan!!1!!status=ok::descr=1666RPM
ups!!1!!status=ok::descr=Remote APC Back-UPS ES 750G Battery charge: 100%, 24 min

Boot!!FS_CHECK!! 39%
The drive seems to be physically fine. Is there any way that I can save the data? I thought that replacing a bad drive was supposed to be plug/play, but that seems not to be the case :(

Any suggestions where to find a replacement?
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAPW7MW2487 claims to be compatible, if you google you will find others.

I was half hoping it was the ReadyNAS, which would have given me an excuse to upgrade.
Microsoft obsoleting SMB 1.0 might be enough of an excuse :smileywink:

Can you see the shares and files from ssh (in the "C" folder)?
Yes, the files are all there - /c/home, /c/media, /c/backup
Ok. Then one option (though slow) is to connect a USB drive to your NAS and back up the files to the USB drive.
Did you try accessing the NAS over the network with windows file explorer? If that works, it will be faster to back up the data that way.
Note that your two drives are mirrored, so the one you didn't remove should still have all the same data on it.
