Afternoon All
New to the Forums. I'll get straight to the point. I have 4 x TS-869 Pro on my network that are configured as JBOD. Used for storing media/video data. One of my devices has "sat down". They are less than a year old.
When I press the power button - the device starts; the digital display lights up and then it shuts down immediately. We recently done a firmware update - but the other three devices are OK.
Would appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thanks guys (in advance) for any help/assistance with this.

This sounds to me like it could be a power supply issue.sugevad wrote:When I press the power button - the device starts; the digital display lights up and then it shuts down immediately.
Back in the IDE/PATA days, a bad disk could make a power supply shut down to protect itself. I don't know if the same could happen with a SATA disk, at least I have never seen it happen with SATA...
Since you have four units, it should be easy for you to find the faulty part by simply move things between the units. Be careful however to mark everything with servername (and disks with their slot number) before you remove it from a unit. You don't want to end up with a pile of disks that you have lost track on where they actually belong!
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!
A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.
All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!
