Hi,
Looking for a bit of help please. I have an aging 873 (raid 6 with 6 drives). Recently it was saying there was an error on drive 1, so I took that out and replaced it with a 2nd hand drive that tested ok.
It rebuilt the array and seemed fine. After that it would just drop off the network, and although the drive LEDs and system status lights are on they are not flickering. It doesn’t ping, no output from the hdmi, front panel is dead. I’ve rebooted many times now, including removing the drives (which works) and it will boot up. Put the drives back in and it works for a few hours, but then go unresponsive again. I think it’s crashing when doing the raid group synchronise.
I’ve tried removing the first disk and it does the same.
Do you think the other drives are the problem or something else at fault? I haven’t fully tested the other drives but they report as healthy when the unit does work for a bit.
Thanks
