Hi,
I just replaced drive 3 for the FOURTH time -- new Seagates. This failure occured within a week of installing the new drive and buildng the array. Its a Terastation Pro (TS-TGL/R5).
Last failure was this summer. Then two previous failures last year.
I can't keep going through 1TB drives like this -- its costing a small fortune.
Anyone have any ideas why this particular drive keeps failing? Its only the drive in slot 3. I get a "can't find HD3" error on the display.
And the drives are dead, dead, dead once removed.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help.
Hi,
Thanks for your response. I have actually done that, i.e. tested the drives on a PC, and they are dead, in that the motors boot up, but the drive is unrecognizable in both Windows and OSX. Drive manager doesn't see them.
However, I think I should go through the exercise of flashing the bios. Can you send me instructions on that?
I guess the other possibility is that I got three bad drives in a row...but what are the odds of that!?
