May 7, 20233 yr Unraid OS 6.11.5 I didn't think about this issue when I set up my array. I have UniFi Video writing to drive 1 (so also to the parity disk) UniFi Video is writing 24/7 to the array, thus hammering 2 disks. Sooner or later, the disks are going to reach their max writes and fail. One possibility: Move disk 1 to an unassigned device, thus saving the parity disk, but loosing disk protection. That disk is a WD Purple, so is designed for 24/7 operation. Any advice please?? Edited May 7, 20233 yr by oldfart
May 7, 20233 yr Author There is no 'after the problem occurs' - there is constant (24/7) writing to the array, which is something I want to stop, because of future HD failure due to too many writes.
May 7, 20233 yr Community Expert Ahh, I understand that the disk had become disabled, in that case do has you prefer, remove parity if you need the redundancy.
May 7, 20233 yr Author No, nothing is broken at the moment, I'm just trying to prevent a future problem.
May 7, 20233 yr Community Expert Solution No point, they're just doing what they're designed for. Every drive will fail one day or another. That's why you have redundancy, so it can be replaced when it does. No big deal.
