No sooner had I wrote about my ReadyNAS 600 being without problems, the fan fails on me. As both the Infrant and Netgear stores didn’t have the replacement available, and after seeing the posts in this thread I looked at NewEgg and ordered the following:
SILVERSTONE RL-FX121 Case Fan – Retail
NewEgg Item#:N82E16835220002
It cost $16.59 (but about $20 to overnight). It’s a straight swap and fits perfectly.
I’ve never had a problem with my 2 original ReadyNAS 600 devices. The ReadyNAS NV, though, well, it’s not been smooth. I’ve had a couple of drive failures, had to perform a service action and last week the Power Supply failed, with a smoky smell!
Infrant, actually now Netgear, support were great. I’d read a bit of background to the problem on the forums, and they shipped a replacement out the same day. I replaced it today, and it’s still working!
“Disk fail event occurred on SATA channel 2. Please replace the failed disk as soon as possible.”
We like the ReadyNAS too! It was a HDS HDS724040KLSA80 7K400 GB Deskstar that failed.
