Just to update and summarize. Realised that my mother board's sata port is throwing random errors. Hence decided to swap it this year with ASUS work station pro motherboard. So far disk did not throw any errors and hope that it stays this way. And as suggested will continue to monitor SMART stats

Right! And my question is, is this disk advisable to be used for the long term?

Thanks managed to get it done. Here are the extended test logs. Seeking help if possible. Thanks in advance. unraidhserver-smart-20211223-1022.zip

@ChatNoir No wonder my extended test keeps failing. Let me go find out how to disable spin down thank you very much. Will share my logs again once i have acquired it

Brand: Seagate IronWolf Model: ST4000VN008-2DR166 Approximate age at failure: 0.5 years Drive in warranty: Yes Drive just dropped offline without signs and unable to redrive smart report then. This report was generated after i had the disk removed, rebuild my array with another drive and reconnected the bad drive again into the server as an unassigned drive in order to get the report. Is my drive dead? Need some advise what to do with the drive. Can i continue to use it or should i just replace it? unraidhserver-smart-20211222-0941.zip

Hi itimpi, Apologies for the late reply was away serving my nation. Thanks for the sharing. Yes i realised it and i made a switch no idea why harddisk dropped offline. Is it possible for me to reuse the disk by adding it as a new disk into the array? Recent months i have this harddisk and the ones next to it with some read error. My guess is my motherboard's sata port giving issue. I had just switch over all my connection to my HBA card. If this issues dont happen again then i guess i might want to change my motherboard. Currently usinng MAG B550 TOMAHAWK. Looking to change to a Asus WS motherboard what do you guys think? regards Alex

Thanks for replying, I couldn't manage to get the diagnostics just now. However after a reboot Disk2 was reinstated with no errors. I manage to swap my disk1 and now it being rebuilt.

Hi Guys, I am in need of some guidance about my disabled drive. Sequence of events. 1. Woke up in the morning to the notification of my Disk1 being disabled. (happened before about 1 month ago and reinstated the drive with no issue). Disk2 and Disk 5 has some read error. 2. Went out to get a new drive to replace the disabled drive1 (Drive1 is being emulated). 3. Got home to start the replacement and disabled docker and vm. 4. Stop the array, then assign Disk1 to 'No Disk' at this moment disk2 is shown as missing. 5. Realised Disk2 is also automatically unassigned. 6. Found the 2 disk appearead in the 'Unassigned Devices' 7. Now i am unable to reassign my Disk2 and its being marked as 'missing'. I have only one parity drive. And i do not want wish to lose any data. Can I clone my disk2 into a spare drive using a cloning device and reinsert it? Any help is much appreciated. I have on hand 2 spare 4tb drive. regards Alex

Thank you for the great support finally manage to get my files compressed! Yeah! Cheers~!

ah i see will use matroska. I was assuming the MKV extension would be also name MKV container like how the MP4 was. Sorry about that will try again thanks for helping.

I just reencoded using MKV for the container I choose mkvtimestamp_v2 as I couldn't find any mkv container. Is this suppose to be like that?

Alright thanks for the expination. I shall use the MKV container. Sorry for troubling you really appreciate it

Just woke up and checked the encoding failed, seems to be a similar error. Attached the log files for 25th and 26th as i believe they continued appsettings.json log-20210726.txt log-20210725.txt

Thank for the prompt reply, I understand no worries, so my frame rate setting is the problem. Will remove it and see if it works. Apologies after removing the framerate I saw the "Same As Source", haha I was assuming I have to give it a value hence place 29.8 as I pluck this value off some article for best video encoding settings. regards

Hey OFark, I have tried to encode a file with your recommendation and yes it finally encodes. However right now my output file has 0kb seems like there are some encoding error. attached are the logs hope you can give some advice again, appreciate it regards appsettings.json log-20210725.txt
