Thank you for that. I do get this on one HDD: SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED Please note the following marginal Attributes: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 066 035 045 Old_age Always In_the_past 34 (Lifetime Min/Max 20/38) But based on the info here: http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=9806&start=15 it doesn't sound like a big deal. That HDD was previously in another system which I think had a temperature problem. - Grant
