Hikvision sign of HD failure or?

[abarr 0]

Hikvision DS-7608 8 channel poe.

 

I have had this for about two years and have had no trouble. I could connect remotely and view/playback.

 

Recently I have been having trouble connecting, locally and remotely. Yesterday I could not connect at all. I shut it down manually and upon boot I could connect and view cameras. The HD light was flashing when it was working. The red light stopped and the connection to the cameras just stopped.

 

I did a couple of restarts and experience the same thing, just after boot it worked for a couple minutes.

 

Occasionally it will let me login, usually it times out. When I do get in the cameras time out and can't be viewed. The HD shows as full, is this normal. I know it keeps writing over but it shows 0% available. I did a format today when I was able to connect but that did not solve the problem.

 

I am thinking HD starting to go but it does not make total sense. Any thoughts?

Disconnect hard drive for a day and see if problem still appears.
