August 18, 20232 yr Hey guys, Version 6.12.3 2023-07-14 I have two refurbed Exos 16tb HDDs and i'm in the process of my setup. Immediately both drives show up with a SMART "error" before i ran a SMART self test. I was able to run a SMART on one drive which "completed without error" and the other had "completed: read failure". I said all of that to say this, are these drive faulty and should i return them? I'm still learning so i may have missed info. I've attached my diagnostic file as suggested. tower-diagnostics-20230818-1915.zip
August 19, 20232 yr The one that failed the SMART test should be replaced, the other one is fine, just a couple of CRC errors, that's usually SATA cable related.

Hiya, One last question, the other HDD with the CRC error, should i be weary of it. I check the log history after the SMART test completed the life span is low. Is this something to worry about?
