I have had my second HDD fail within a few weeks.
I'm trying to understand if this is a true failure and I can RMA the HDD or if something else is going on.
Both disks that failed were disabled by Unraid, I use Scrutiny docker to view the HDD smart data, both have failed from Command Timeouts from what I can tell, they go from a very low count to really high although the smart data reported as passed for both.
Is there something I am missing and the disks aren't actually dead.
The first one that failed I have replaced (new disk seems fine) and put in a RMA with Seagate (Haven't gotten around to sending it yet), the 2nd has just failed today and wondering if I need to do the same again.
Is there anything else I should be looking at?
This is in an r720 and I have tried new cables, HBA and swapping the HDD slot (using a different backplane item).
Cheers
