Hot Swapping TS-509

[badabing888]

Hi Guys,

I did a quick search but the link to the hot swap procedure seems to have been removed from the qnap site.

I had a drive die in my TS-509 firmware 4.1.

Is it as simple as ripping out the failed drive (slot 3) and plugging in a new one while powered on obviously? i'm just making sure there is nothing specific outside of your standard hot swap procedure i need to do.

Regards

Daniel

Yes. (Assuming that your undisclosed Make/Model of drives, are configured as either RAID1, RAID5, RAID6 or RAID10). Please review article: When you're asking a question, please include the following and QNAP Tutorial: Hot-swapping the hard drives when the RAID crashes.

You asked a "Drive" question but provided no information about your drives, or your volume configuration.

just a quick one, for anyone else

everything worked as expected

5 x 2tb in raid 5 with most of the array full 7tb, took 13 hours
