Hello,
This is my first time using unRAID and I'd call myself moderately (or semi-moderately) computer-savvy. I've been following the instructions from Space Invader's videos and started preclearing my 2 8TB Seagate Ironwolf drives yesterday. Everything was going fine, until the post-read, when after about an hour each into the post-read they both failed, with this message from both: "Post-Read verification failed - Aborted". Here's the log from one of them:

--> FAIL: Post-Read verification failed. Your drive is not zeroed.
I think I've read in here that this may just be an error with the plugin? If so, am I good to go on these drives? Or what should I do instead? I'm running version 6.5.2 and the plugin is from 2018.05.03. Thank you for your help.
