mikesp18 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I was recently going through some smaller drives pulled from my primary Unraid installation when I upgraded. One of these had been in use, the others were on shelves and I don't remember when I put them there. It's worth stating that I don't have anything mission critical going onto the backup server these are getting plugged in to. Can anyone that is better versed than me indicated whether these drives are worthy of keeping around, or should I retire them permanently. I just ran all of these though the Unraid Preclear using Erase and Preclear option and 3 cycles. I will attached the output of each, and the smart reports.

dboonthego Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The smart reports look fine. If you have room for them in your backup system, why not use them? Quote Link to comment
