ReadyNas 516 More Command Timeout Headaches
ReadyNas516, Latest Firmware/software- 6 disk NAS with 5 12TB Seagate Just Got done replacing 2 drives to get completely rid of my disks that had command timeouts, all was well with no command timeo...
Some thoughts on checking out different things, or perhaps netgear service out of warranty?
Happy Holidays to you all.
Netgear does not offer repair service out of warranty, so that's not an option. If it were the power supply, I'd expect that you would see at least some warnings in the log about one or more voltage being out of spec unless it is just at spin-up, before the OS is loaded and can look for such things.
Do you happen to know if the timeouts you had on the other drives were also coincident with a power cycle?
What specific model(s) of Seagate drives do you have installed?
The Drives I have are 12TB Iron Wolf ST12000VNZ008, clueless on the other info.
Getting Ready to change out the 15 Timeout Drive, I am going to power off the nas first,
reboot, then when I am back up check timeouts, and probably at that point change out the drive. The timeouts have stayed the same for about 3 days. However the NAS seems quite slow.
I just rebooted the system and now saw this:
Disk 2 has 19 Command Timeouts
Disk 4 has 1 Command TimeoutsIt did increment on Boot uP!!
Still lost? Any Ideas
Ironwolfs up to 16GB are on the compatibility list, so you shouldn't be drawing too much current at spin-up unless the power supply is not functioning properly. But it's hard to believe you are having problems with so many drives. I think it's still worthwhile to see if you can tell if the timeouts seem to only occur when the unit powers on of the drives spin up from idle (assuming you have spin-down enabled).
