Neglected parity check, drive clicks


Helmut

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I'm kind of in an unpleasent situation. Because I'm an idiot I neglected parity checks for the last 300 days. My array consists of 4 10 TB HDDs (one parity). Now I hear that one drive is clicking quite loud when it spins up. So I'm pretty certain it will die some time soon...

 

Now, what do I do? Would it be better to do a parity check? Or just swap the drive as soon as possible? Help 😱
