Sorry but I am in pain so I have to share.
Came home from a 7 week trip, to find my WHS clicketing away.
I shut it down and restarted it.
The 500G WD system drive was dying, and one 1.5T data drive DEAD!
I was able to make a "copy" of the system drive onto a spare 1T drive I had.
Looking around I noticed that the exhaust fan in the back was DEAD. I wonder if this is what caused the 2 HDDs demise? If so, I am worried about the remaining 4 Drives!!!!!
The system boots, but the WHS Console keeps crashing, but the server still comes alive, as in I can see all the shared drives and accounts.
I not sure what to do next! I am heartbroken!!!
At least there are still 4 drives worth of data, and my Photos and key business files are replicated on the cloud (ASUS Webstore).
Any words of consolation are appreciated.
