I have no idea whats going on.
Thecus wont tell me either.. and just keeps sending me new ones.
They last for a few months, then motherboard dead.. then they send me a new one.. and this has been going for 1 year
7x Thecus N7700 have died on me now
My setup is an N7700 with 7x 1.5TB seagate drives
In Raid 5 and use only as backup each night.. It is only being written to for about 2 hours each day. No clients, or multiple users accessing. Its just a redundant backup for my 12TB areca array which is used all the time.
Other than that.. N7700 has a serial cable and power cable attached to a SmartUPS-1500, and ethernet cable to my router.
So far... If Im ever doing an RSYNC command or large backup that is over 100gbs... thats when the dead motherboard happens.. It just shuts down completely.. and power LED flickers on startup. Dead
This does not happen often.. But about once every few months... Then i RMA.. they send me a new one.. Works for a few months.. then dead again.. and start over.. repeat with each RMA.
My old N5200Pro worked for 2 years no problems, and no issues
Any ideas? Should I switch brands? Anything to check.. Thecus wont tell me anything
