Alright so i bought this a few months ago.. transfered everything onto it from my old nas and got rid of the old one.
I wake up this morning to see a 6 interval red light blink. I looked it up and it means a dead drive.
If this was real raid 5... i would be able to still access my shares, with degraded performance.
Instead i can get into the share but no data is present anymore.. just the torrent folder.
So is all of my data gone? Or will it pop back up after i replace the dead drive.
I just rebooted it and it has said this for the past hour "Currently a Format or Disk Check is being carried out.
During this time the LinkStation settings can not be changed.
Also the file share service will not be available."... with the red 6 blink still going
Let it complete the disk/raid check and see if it self corrects it self. If not call in with a receipt ready to setup a replacement drive. Your data should still be intact in degrade mode. But if a drive fails very badly then it can take the entire raid array with it.
I put in a new drive.. i let it rebuild.. I have no data and about 3TB free space.
I am chucking this POS in the garbage and im gunna go buy a netgear or seagate.
