Thanks, crisisacting, I will give that a try. I believe I do have a couple of extras around, if I can still find them. At one time I had 6 or 8 of them, I think 2 may still be in the old server I shut down last year. I seem to recall reading something in the past about putting used drives in, do I n...

Now I'm getting confused. I'm not getting the "Raid Degraded" message, the info in the Volume section is showing the volume is good. https://i.postimg.cc/CZcWdCLQ/Volume.jpg It's only when I look at the info of the individual drives that it shows one a "At Risk," but none defecti...

Yes, it is RAID 5.

Well, that was an experience! While I was waiting for your reply I decided to try to plug in a monitor to see what I could see before I restarted it, but in the process of hooking up the monitor I accidentally hit the power button and shut it down. When I got it hooked up and powered it on, the moni...

Thanks, ColaChen. I didn't think this unit had an HDMI, but I just checked and there is one there. But what do I need to do to "Attempt terminal login to the NAS system"? That sounds like a Linux thing and I know almost nothing about Linux. Do I need to plug a keyboard into the USB plug in...

No, not a failure of the NAS power, but the power coming into the house apparently went down last night, for long enough to run the batteries down in both UPS units and shut the whole system down. This morning I powered everything back up, and everything except the NAS is working normally again, but...

Thanks, TMroy. Maybe I will need to do a backup and reinstall after all. And it is still running TOS 4.2.40, so maybe even upgrade to TOS 5? (Or should I just wait for TOS 6?) But it won't happen for a while, since it is running for now, and I'm getting ready to take my camper out for a 2-1/2 week t...

That's interesting. I didn't realize I could log in with a monitor and keyboard, there seemed to be no place to plug in a monitor. Only 2 ethernet plugs, 2 USB plugs and a power plug. And no mention it the setup guide of an HDMI plug. I did see a perforated outline of a knock-out plug in the shape o...

But TNAS PC won't connect to the unit. That's the big problem.

Gremlin, thanks for trying to help, but I am not a Linux guy, I know nothing of the "ins" package or the "custom" install method. I only know how to manage the system through the admin page, which I cannot get to. On some very rare occasions, very far in the past, I have been kno...
