March 15, 20242 yr I replaced a WD RED HD with a Seagate IronWolf in my RAID recently because my dashboard displayed SMART errors. When I added the new drive, I encountered multiple errors with this IronWolf. Seagate told me to get a replacement HD since it is brand new. Is there an issue to mix WD RED and Seagate IronWolf HDs to create a Parity using UNRAID? I also replaced a WD RED 10 TB as Parity disc for a Seagate IronWolf 12 TB for this raid in a QNAP TS-464 enclosure because the 10 TB also displayed SMART errors and is also under warranty! Any thoughts?
