New disk shows up as dead, sometimes. All fine in Frontview.

[superjunior]

I have a ReadyNas Duo and recently I exchanged the two 1 TB-disks for two 2 TB-disks (WD20EARS-00MVWB0). I took the two old disks out and put the new ones in, and went through the installation process, then I made factory reset to flex-raid (raid 0) the disks (as I had the old disks this way). So far so good.

But occasionally, maybe 2-3 times during these first three weeks, one disk appears as dead in Raidar and therefor the whole unit is in life-support mode:



But when I enter Frontview, everything looks fine:



Is the disk faulty or not? Should go back to the store to get it replaced?

Personally, I wouldn't use that model disk. It tends to be problematic for many users. I recommend the Hitachi 7K2000.
