[tekguru]

And now ordered it should be here tomorrow....... Thanks guys!

So the 4 TB Ironwolf Pro is the same price as the non pro?!?! I’d go for the pro in that case too.

Hopefully you purchased a boxed retail drive, not a recertified/renewed drive.

 

[tekguru]

Exactly and yes brand new! Should be here tomorrow. Rather excited!

Okay the new drive will be here later today. Do I access the NAS and look to remove the failed drive from the storage pool before installing the new drive or will it see it as a new drive automatically?

 

[tekguru]

The new drive has arrived, it's now added into the Storage Pool and it’s now repairing the storage pool. Since I took the screen short it’s now at 4.82% and has 4 hours 40 minutes to go.

Things are looking good I think guys! The biggest issue I had was remembering how to remove / attach the side rails in the drive caddy LOL.

Thanks for all the assistance guys, very much appreciated.

 

[fredbert]

The thing I always forget with the DS218+ is do I push up or down the caddy release button/flap: is clip on the caddy or chassis . Much easier on the DS NAS that don't have covers over all bays.

 

[tekguru]

Push it down and let it pop back up
I'm just glad I found an allen key that fitted.....

 

[tekguru]

And just to close it all out, now fully operational once more. Thanks for all the help guys.

 

[Telos]

Hope you are as well. Cheers!

Congrats , you and I had the same set of circumstances , nas model , sick (me Lymphoma) , memory loss , one drive failed .
Except I was extremely confused at the time due to lack of oxygen to brain (my Lymphoma was not letting me make Hemoglobin) . Just yesterday my doctor told me I won (for now, as there's no cure for it , but Truxima did the job for now, have to test every 3 months from now on).

Anyways I had one drive go bad and I clicked on some repair setting (the 3 dots in storage pool) and it told me to " remove the drive now, with unit running " BIG MISTAKE , from then on ALL I did made thing go from bad to catastrophic SCREW up by me.
The drive I added , told me to make it a second something" I ended up trying every thing I read inside the nas repair suggestions . I ended up destroying the data . since my red drives were 8.5 years old , I ended up buying 4 new EXOS 16tb and this time I did the SHR format( I like the idea that 8 years from now I can swap one drive that is BIGGER and rebuild from there . I lost so much I wanted to cry over.

So again congrats you fixed your problem with 1 new drive , all I can say is save for the other 3 drives , because it's coming , and IF they are over 5 to 8 years old , PLAN on it. the drive that went bad on me , you could hear the bearings being DRY, yest I tried fixing it outside the nas with RT-Studio , but it could not due to physical damage on the drive platters

good to hear you recovered from sickness and bad drive, as I have from mine . I have my son back copying some key DVD's into the drives that I must have (comedy movies and shows) , but no way am I doing hundreds of DVD's again . most of my stuff is in PRIME and Netflix , the rest is back in the synology.

Sorry to hear, but RAID is never a substitute for a daily backup. Backups are not optional, unless your data is optional.

being 68 years old, and having worked in a computer room with 3030 winchester hard drives in the 80's , allowed me to backup to tapes but the backup game has always been a loosing game for home users as for example I now have 4 16tb drives in that synology , where do I backup to ? . 2 separate 24tb drives in my main computer , but just can never catch up . my " important stuff " like pictures are backed up on the ROCK Mdiscs dvd's , all else is already on dvd's . have you checked out the price of tape drives these days ? . but thank you for the back up answer .

Strange how similarities can show up in life. They reckon for me it was caused by depression, weird but my issues started to go once I was on the antidepressant tablets.
I backup critical files to an external hard drive, but obviously irt doesnt cover everything or my forum.

It is all about your personal risk tolerance - my media library is massive, and I cannot afford to lose it. I maintain a full external backup of it.

 

[Telos]

where do I backup to

If your data is important, you'll find a way.

These days there are a lot more people on antidepressants, I've been on those since '87 (runs in my blood , can't elaborate in here ) .
I took 2 of the 4 drives did deep formatting in rt-tools to verify the drives 3 of the 4 pass low level formats , that failed and put them in a Terramaster box and have been collecting things from many drives and dvd's and putting them together , from there moving them to the 2, 24tb drives in my big tower. don't forget about your other 3 drives ages.

When my drive failed , i went into my Amazon history and they were 8+ years old.
