Greetings,

Several years ago when Sooloos was first introduced I recall that part of their marketing package indicated that they were able to "watch/monitor" a units hard drive in order to evaluate whether it was on the verge of failing.

Does anyone know if this service is still available?

The reason I ask is that a few days ago I've noticed that the front panel indicator light on my MC200 (500GB) shut itself off. The internal green pilot light remained illuminated, but the MC200 went into standby mode without my manually touching the back panel switch. The remainder of my gear was still powered on so I don't think it was an electrical surge.

I powered down my entire system and rebooted the MC200 and it is functioning normally so far without any recurrence of the problem.

If I seem overly concerned it's because I already suffered 1 hard drive failure in 2012 which resulted in my loss of use of my MC200 for almost 4 months!

If it's likely the MC200 hard drive (or other component) is failing I'd better squirrel away some $ for a CD player.

I do backup my MC200 to an external hard drive, but I'm trying to get ahead of the game here in advance of the holiday season.

Any help/advice is welcomed.
