For anyone else here in the Netherlands, I had zero issues getting my replacement drive from WD. I shipped it back to them as a bare drive, not in the original external enclosure. A few days later they shipped me a brand new WD EasyStore 8TB as a replacement.

I'll pull this one and put in a warranty claim then. The server took a rather large hit during shipping, knocking some disks free from their mountings. These were then loose to bang around in the case...when I got it I could hear them moving before I opened the box In hindsight I should have removed them before shipping to be safe. I think I got lucky and only lost this one disk but would there be a good stat(s) to check on the rest of the disks to see if they were also damaged?

I have an 8TB white label WD Red which Unraid has set to disabled due to the SMART test showing Helium level FAILING NOW. Before I replace it, is there anything else I should check to see if it is indeed failing? arthur-smart-20200924-0909.zip

I'm a bit stuck with how to set this up in unRAID. I have two Mellanox ConnectX 2 VPI 10GB network cards, one in my unRAID server and one in my VM host. What I'd like to do is have all traffic between the VM host and unRAID go over the 10GB link between them, this will be for backups from the host to the unRAID server. I can see that unRAID can see the card, under System Devices: 01:00.0 InfiniBand: Mellanox Technologies MT26428 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 5GT/s - IB QDR / 10GigE] (rev b0) But I'm not sure where to start in assigning it an eth and an IP address?
