Drive Status for Drive Station Duo

[Tomster2]

   

I am using a drive station duo in mirrored mode.  Things are fine now... but how do I tell if there is a problem with one of the drives?

 

i.e. is there a light that will flash or a beep, or some way to configure email alerts on the Drive Station Duo when a drive fails/begins to fail?

 

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Yes, you should get beeps, but you will definitely get an error light if anything fails.... Here is the how to read the codes:

 

LED and Beep Codes

LED Status:
LED	Color and Action	Meaning and Troubleshooting
Disk1 or Disk2	Green, Flickering	The Disk is being accessed.
Disk1 or Disk2	Red, Stable	The Disk1 or Disk2 is failed. Replace the drive.
Disk1 or Disk2	Red, Flashing	Rebuilding RAIDarray is performed. Don't turn the unit off. Otherwise, restored datais lost. (In fact, red and green flashing continues frequently becauseof disk access.) Estimated rebuilding time is 7 to 8 hours for 500GBmodel, 11 to 12 hours for 800GB. 1.0TB and 1.5TB model are more.
Disk1 and Disk2	Red, Stable on both	Replaced disk capacity is lower than original one. Unable to start rebuilding RAID.
Beep Status:
Beep Code		Meaning
Alternating continuous short beep then silence		Internal cooling fan is stopped.
Continuous beep		Hard disk unit temperature is too high.
Three second beep then silence		The Disk1 or Disk2 is failed. Replace the drive.
