August 2, 20233 yr Hello, I got an email alert about disk read errors that popped up during a Parity check. Shows 336 errors on one disk. I'm not sure what this means exactly and if I should replace this disk. (Disk 1) I know this question comes up a lot but I don't really see a thread with a solution / conclusion. Thanks for the guidance I just ran an Extended SMART test on the disk and am attaching my Diagnostics. Edited August 16, 20233 yr by adminmat
August 3, 20233 yr Author If anyone has a guide on how to diagnose this issue I'd appreciate. Is this in the unRAID manual? Is this a cable issue? Is there a way to tell if the data is corrupted?

August 3, 20233 yr Solution Test passed so disk is OK for now, replace/swap cables to rule that out and run another check.

Ran a parity check that completed with no errors. I should be good for a while then, right? I was opening and closing a cabinet the server sits on during the last parity check. That jostling could have caused it?
