May 18, 20224 yr This is the first time I've experienced a drive failure in Unraid. I have a red notification saying Disk in Error State (disk dsbl). There is also a red X next to the drive in Main/Array Devices. I seem to be able to navigate the drive and access files. Should I move the files to another disk, delete the disk from the array, and restart the array down one drive? Or something else. I do not have a replacement drive handy, but there's plenty of space in the rest of the array. Thanks all in advance.

May 18, 20224 yr Community Expert Solution Disk does appear to be failing, you can run an extended SMART test to confirm.
May 18, 20224 yr Author Attached are the extended SMART results ST8000VN004-2M2101_WKD04J51-20220518-0835.txt
May 18, 20224 yr Community Expert The extended SMART test appears to have failed so the disk definitely needs replacing.

May 20, 20224 yr Author Shut down the array and swapped the drive as per documentation (WD Gold 8TB). Rebuild completed without issue. All is good. After 1.5 years on Unraid it was great to see how easy that was when a disk finally failed. Reminds me why I came to Unraid in the first place when I lost a disk in my old JBOD setup. Thanks all for the help.
