Thanks for the advice :-)

So would I be right in thinking - only the 4 drives with (after the scan) zero pending and zero actual re-allocation were worthy of being resused? Thanks Stuart

Just tried to click it and nada - weird!

Hi could anyone tell me what the icon is on the top drive - thanks :-)

So my first ever attempt at running pre clear - I have a bunch of older 3tb Seagte Drives I was hoping to reuse building my first array. But am unsure what I should be looking for, if someone could explain to me what looks good and what doesn't I would be most grateful! Perhaps an oh my god do not dare use that drive would help as well :-) I have attached the logs for 7 drives that have now completed - a bunch more to go...
