Red light = hard drive failure

Options

‎07-13-2012 08:09 PM

Hi All,

  So I got the red light of hard drive death and my duo is in raid 1 mode.  How do I know which drive is bad?  How do I get the information off the good drive so I can back it up before the bad hard drive is replaced?

Thanks in advance,

The UI will tell you which drive has failed. Look in the user manual under "replacing a drive."

The red light may appear by different causes:

 

- Disk SMART failure
- Data Volume does not exist
- System Volume does not exist
