What if one of my drive status lights are out, but otherwise my hard drives seem perfectly healthy?

Thanks,

There are reports of the LEDs failing - if the status shows the drives as functional and you can access the data, then you probably have a failed LED - if it's under warranty, you can RMA the entire unit, if not, you can choose to live with it, replace it, or find a way to replace the LED.

Just spent over an hour calling customer support.... Dlink: Start hiring people who speak proper english! (yes, I just said that..... and no, I'm not racist)

Sounds like my warranty is out.... I'm on my own it seems. I wish there was a way to find the part number of that light and order myself a new one.... I'd solder it myself...

You know if you really wanted to - it wouldn't be that difficult - even without a part number.

It's a 3 wire LED - it'll take you about 10 mins (if that long) to disassemble the unit and determine if it's common anode or common cathode - that, the color and the size is all you really need to know.
