Title: Strange DNS323 behaviour
Post by: jrbilodeau on May 03, 2009, 06:06:00 PM

Hi not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but in the past month i have got a email message saying

Right Hard Drive Has Failed

Sincerely,
Your DNS-323

i take a look at the dns323 and it has pink light instead of blue. i power it off and reseat the drives and then everything seems ok again. not sure what might be causing this. i have the latest firmware.

Are you running a RAID1 array? When you get this email if you go into you Status page in the web UI does it show the RAID1 array as degraded?

How often do you see this? If it has happen just once I would not worry about it much.

I get the same behaviour on FW 1.06. It happens every couple of days (usually when I'm not at my computer and have a scheduled job running  >:() and a powercycle (not just a restart from the web interface) clears it. The irritating part is that I don't have a right hard drive - only the left bay is occupied (with a Seagate 1TB drive). I pushed down 1.07 to it tonight, not expecting that to help much, but who knows? If it happens again I'll be phoning support.

you should try updating the firmware of the hard drives.
This might help...or...you have a defective drive....
