Since I bought my NAS about 3 weeks ago I have now had 2 times when a hard drive failed. Now the funny thing is that the hard drive doesnt actually fail persay. If I take it out and put in a another one and format it and then take out that one and put the old one back in everything works just fine. It has been 2 different bays They are both using a SATA2 Maxtor 300GB hard drive. Any suggestions? I am running firmware 1.03. My temps say its 105F.

If you've had one particular drive fail in both bays and your other drive hasn't failed in either bay, it's pointing to the drive itself being bad.
Question for you - what indication, if any, do you get when the drive fails? With 1.03 I get email alerts, but I have never seen the drive lights go amber.
When I first got my unit (over six months ago) I simulated drive failures, by pulling drives, and/or installing known defective drives, but I haven't had a drive fail by itself, so what you describe is certainly not typical of the unit.

It has not been one hard drive or another. Or even one slot or the other it has been both slots and 4 different hard drives. All are the same model though.

Although not too often, over the years doing clone PC assembly I have run into batches of bad drives from the same shippment, maker, model...

Last week I got same problem (I think) I just turn off DNS-323 to go home and when I turned it on, surprise - a lot of files missing. (RAID1 with two 500Gb WD SATA II) I plug only one drive and some data where there, and in the other drive some other data. I was unable to recover all the info, but most of them. Any idea what could be happen? I'm just restoring all info and planning to start DNS-323 with RAID 1 again next week. firmw. 1.03

take the front cover off, point a goodish sized fan at it, and see how it manages stability wise.

I had the same missing files scenario, and it was a bad drive. Everything looked great until first complete power down of the unit, then files were gone on restart. RMAd the bad drive and new one formatted fine, and the files are still there after total power down, unplug and restart.
