Critical Alert Email

I had the very same thing happen to me. My USB boot drive in NAS1 failed without warning. There is always a possibility of data loss with a forced shutdown, but I don't think I lost anything.
Were you able to get back up and running?
What did you decide to do for a replacement boot device?
I run a mirrored pair of boot drives in the backup NAS, NAS2, and have not had any problems on it.

I went with a pair of mirror'd flash drives, and so far so good.

I should say it was almost the same thing because I didn't get an e-mail alert.
I am buying parts right now to build a new NAS to replace the one that had the USB failure and it will not be booting from USB.
