Good Morning,
I have a Linkstation Quad 2T ... running whatever firmware came from the factory (bought it last week), RAID 5
Connected to a UPS backup
I was unable to find the LS on the network.
After connecting the LS directly to a laptop, I was able to launch the Navigator.
I do not have the EXACT wording (as I am at work) ... Error in Raid Array Drive 3.
I pulled the cover off, and sure enough the light was different for drive 3 (I am color blind...1,2,4 were one density of pigmentation...and 3 was different)
The blue light was blinking...then blinked a different color / error... VERY quickly...
Do I need to replace the failed drivedrives with a 500 drive with a 500G "different" manufacture that the toshiba?
Do I need to do a firmware update?
I am painfully aware of not using a single device for a backup solution... and the information stored on the device is not unique, and can be re-built (will take some time) ... I would prefer to not have to wipe the drive clean and re-start over again.... especially since only one drve is in fail (hopefully thie is why I have it in RAID 5!!!)
Any assistance or recommendations would be appreciated.
You do have a 1 year warranty with a valid proof of purchase, call in and we can get you setup with a replacement drive, shouldn't have to reflash the firmware after replacing the drive and restrucuturing the new drive into the array.
