We've two Thecus products in the office, both N5200 boxes, now both dead or dying.  The first died about a month ago, and while Thecus are trying to recover the falled raid, it's not playing.  It started to report one of the HDD's as broken, which isn't quite true.  Then it decided that there isn't a raid there, which is also not true.  So that' broken.

So this leaves us one Raid with aaall those lovley files on... which was found this morning flashing on and off in a very

worrying way....  It took about 10 minutes to take out all the disks and realize that it was the base unit that is broken.  God knows how many of the disks it's taken with with the dam thing, we'll have to get the other one fixed to fix this one, simply to get another replacement raid to put the dam data on!

Some days back to work after a week off are always fun.
