: Error on Array 1 (LinkStation)
: absinthe November 10, 2013, 05:57:46 PM
I have a LinkStation with two 1 TB drives set up in RAID 1.  It's a little less than 2 years old and I'm not having any problems with it.  However, when I looked at the admin page this weekend I noticed that under System > Storage, down under RAID Array the "Status" of Array 1 is "Error."  Not sure what this means since, as I stated, I'm not having any problems that I know of.  The drive is about 60% full.  I did run Check Disk, and it does not report any problems.  I then chose to rebuild the array, which didn't take that long.  Then the Error was gone for a while.  But I rechecked later the same day and the "Error" is back in the Status column.  I am just mildly concerned that there is something unhealthy about the drive.  Should I be concerned?  Is there something I should do?

Which Drive is errored out? If you rebuilt to it and it later failed again, chances are that it is marginal and is on it's way out.

Can't tell which drive (can I?).  It looks like this: [see attachment]
