i might have sung the praises of my readynas too soon. drive 4 added fine. then i replaced drive 1, and that worked well. then drive 2 blew up in the middle of adding it (possibly a bad drive) and after adding drive 3 (supposedly fine) the NAS has been doing a raid sync for over 24 hours. something is seriously messed up! so maybe some tough love will help. readynas, this is what you’re supposed to do – this is what i paid for. get it right or pay the price.
an also appropriate quote from salute your shorts would have been “this thing came apart”
