- I have a Sony R/W optical disk (SMO-C501-00) that I brought through
- Sun UK about a year ago. It has now started to give me some problems.
- The disk is normally online continuously. However, it has now started
- spinning down then spinning back up all by itself. Sometimes the disk
- never spins back up and the server promptly crashes.
-
- This disk is NOT on maintenance. I have also discovered since that there
- is a cleaning cartridge which should be used monthly. However, I don't
- have one.
-
- I need to know if this is a fault that I need to call the engineer out for.
- Has anyone else experienced the same problems?
-
- Thanks.
