Is the age of a disk not really a concern then as long as it hasn't been used?

I've attached the full zip file of the report but i've no idea what i'm looking for. Also, i've tried to convert the Raw Read Error Rate to Hex as you can see in the screenshot. Since it's only 7 digits does that mean there are no errors? Thanks tower-smart-20240110-1429.zip

It's a Seagate Exos Enterprise. The screenshot i posted was from a short SMART test so im assuming you mean the full test (sorry, i'm still quite new to a lot of this).

I'd never bought a used Drive before but decided to take a punt buying one from CEX (UK store) and grabbed an EXOS Enterprise 6tb for £75. I was disappointed (but not surprised) to find that it was quite old with a DOM of 2018 but I plugged it in to my Unraid NAS anyway and ran a SMART short test and i've attached the results. I'm kind of a noob with this stuff so I dont really know what i'm looking but it says it only has 85 power on hours which is mad and it has a very high RAW_READ_ERROR_RATE and SEEK_ERROR_RATE. Am i right in thinking this drive is completely boned?

I've followed the guide from @craigr but for some reason the transcode isn't taking place on the RAM, as shown in the first screenshot. The movie is definitely being transcoded as you can see below. My Plex docker setup is shown below. I dont know where i've gone wrong and I cant figure out where the transcoding session is because it's not in my Appdata either. If anyone could help me out i'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Memtest has passed without any errors. I think im just going to replace my cache drive since i have a spare nvme drive following a recent upgrade to my gaming pc.

As an update i tried to move a file from the array to the cache and it refused to do it because the file system is read-only which, as I understand it, is down to corruption on the cache drive. Unfortunately, i dont know what I should do about this.

Are you able to help understand what to do about that?

Scrub doesn't seem to report anything.

Looks like I already had mover logging enabled and i've attached the log files. I've looked at them and there's loads of BTRFS errors. tower-syslog-20240106-1211.zip

I'll do that now, in the meantime I tried to copy appdata and system folders to one of my array disks using Dynamix File Manager and I got hundreds of errors like the ones shown in the attached screenshots. I dont know if they help identify the problem?

Nope, everything in appdata was on the cache. I've attached an image showing what my appdata looks like after setting it to 'cache -> array' and then running Mover.

Thanks. The problem I'm having now is that for some reason Mover is only moving some of the files and folders in my appdata share, the config folders for three of my dockers are remaining on the cache drive. This is despite me stopping all dockers and turning the docker service off altogether.

I want to reformat my single nvme cache drive from btrfs to xfs to see if it cures my crashing issues but I’m having trouble moving the contents on to the array. My setup is very basic as it’s only really a Plex server plus pihole and you can see my shares in the image attached. I’ve changed every share to be on the array only but nothing happens when I manually activate mover. I’m wondering if it’s possible to simply copy and paste the contents of the cache to the array and then back again after the format? Thanks.

Thanks, that's fixed my cache drive problem. Do you have any idea what might be causing my server to crash from time to time?
