Melvin,

Sorry to report that this indicates a failed drive.

I've attached an excerpt from the LC2000 install guide that provides full Hot-Swap LED info, for your reference.

Best Regards,

Dave

For some reason, the image that I tried to save in HTML form didn't upload correctly. Here's another try at the image in RTF format.

a red led flashing on the disk indicate that this disk has been marked as "failed " by the netraid controller. this mean that if it was part of a redundant raid ( raid 1 or raid 5) you still have your data but the raid is degraded. The red light do not mean the disk is broken, it may just had some hight amount of error due to communication, or may fail to sinup in time. You can still try to rebuild the raid with this drive if you do not see major errors.
In case of raid 0, (and only raid 0) you can try to force it on-line to try to recover your data.
