Configuration:

• Two Seagate 1.5TB drives
• RAID1 configuration
• One volume (Volume_1)
• Firmware 1.09

Symptoms:

• In Oct & Nov, I received several automatic emails that a drive had failed but there were no failure lights on the front of the enclosure nor failure entry in the log.
• Disk Tools->Scan Disk reported "Volume_1  FAILED" after just a few seconds, but no indication as to which drive
• I ignored it for a couple months (but kept a good backup!)
• Last week I manually rebuilt the RAID; no changes except...
• The log now shows HDD2 has failed but there is still no failure light on the front of the drive; all lights continue to be blue
• Disk Tools->Scan Disk still reports "Volume_1  FAILED" after just a few seconds, but still no indication as to which drive has supposedly failed
• The NAS drive seems to be operating normally otherwise

Without a failure light or drive bay labels, I cannot tell which is the allegedly-failed drive.  Which drive is HDD2? The drives are under warranty for almost another year.

I do not know what to do next.  Please advise.

HDD-2 is the drive in the left bay.

HDD-2 is the drive in the left bay.

As viewed from the front of the NAS enclosure, I assume. If I RMA the drive, I don't want to send the wrong one.
