Title: Checking a HDD for errors
Post by: dudu_georgescu on January 09, 2009, 09:56:23 AM

Hi,

Is there a way to check a HDD mounted in a DNS 323 for errors (i.e. surface test, read-write test, bad sectors, etc.)?

Appreciate it,

George

Unfortunately, the answer to your question is "no."

How's the device knowing when a HDD is about to fail (i.e. sending email notifications). Is the NAS using the S.M.A.R.T. capabilities of the HDD?

All good questions that D-Link Engineering should be able to answer.  It also highlights the need for more HDD information to be displayed in the WebUI.

Is that a typo?

There's never been a 1.4 (current is 1.06) and 1.04 had no disk checking tools that I recall.
