Repair option was not available when volume status was in Crashed status. Repair option on Action button is now available. Storage Manager shows Drive 3 detected and Uninitialized.ĭespite the bad sectors, Storage Manager / Storage Pool shows Drive 1, 2, 4 as 'Healthy' for Allocation Status and 'Healthy' for Health Status. Storage Manager displays message that Drive 1 and now Drive 4 have bad sectors (ugh, now Drive 4 is failing.). Beep alert says volume is Degraded (nothing new, I've been seeing this on restart for the past 2 days). Remove Drive 3 and replaced with brand new WD Red drive. No problems, despite previous error that Drive 1 had 1 bad sector and volume was Crashed. Purchased a 5 TB external USB 3.0 drive from Best Buy.īackup export the DSM configuration from Control Panel.Ĭopied all 2.5 TB of files and folders with File Station to the external USB drive. Play-by-play attempt to repair/restore/recover: FWIW, I did backup the Synology configuration too. If I have to start with 4 new drives from scratch, that's ok, I have backups, but I'd prefer to repair the volume. I do Hyper Backup every night and Cloud Station Drive sync to my laptop, so I have backups of the data.Ĭan the volume be repaired if I replace Drive 3, then if it rebuilds replace Drive 1? I will certainly be replacing Drive 2 and 4 too. None of the packages would start but the files seem to be ok for the ones I tried. This morning, while still Degraded and I haven't received the blank drive yet, Drive 1 detected 1 bad sector and the volume went to Crashed status immediately. I ordered another WD Red drive next day air and knew the RAID would rebuild once the new drive arrives today. I had to shutdown and restart my NAS last night as I was moving it to a new location.ĭrive 3 wouldn't spin up and the volume went to Degraded status. This is used in my home for my IT consulting business, just by myself. I have a DS918+ with 4 WD Red NAS drives in one volume with SHR RAID.
