Hi,
I have a Drivestation Quattro (2TB). Drive 1 failed (I know this because it's light blinked red and the drive would shut down).
I purchased a new drive of similar attributes, 500gb, EIDE, 7200 RPM.
I installed the drive and turned the machine on (per instructions from tech support via phone). I supposed to wait for the drive to rebuild the data. This is supposed to happen automatically. Perhaps after 6 hours the drive should be restored and back to normal. BTW, my drive was about 85% full.
Now the drive is on, and the light for Drive 1 is blinking red . . . and the machine isn't shutting down. This is (overall) a good sign as the drive was shutting down earlier.
It doesn't SOUND like the drive is rebuilding. By this, I mean I don't feel like I'm hearing alot of hard drive activity. Is that normal?
If anyone has replaced a drive and/or rebuilt RAID, please let me know your thoughts.
