April 21, 20242 yr I'm trying to figure out how bad shape this drive is in. I've cleared out the drive to be safe for now, it doesn't appear any new files are being written to the drive, so I assume Unraid knows that the drive is not healthy. Any advice that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! On my dashboard, my disk9 is showing an error: however when I go into disk details it says completed SMART test without error: When I look at the history and log, I see this:
April 21, 20242 yr Author I've also attached the downloaded SMART report. WDC_WD140EDGZ-11B1PA0_Y6GE6Y3D-20240418-0824.txt
April 21, 20242 yr Have you tried clicking on the orange icon for the drive on the Dashboard to see what error it is? If it is a CRC error then if you. Lick on the Acknowledge option Unraid will only notify you again if it increases. CRC errors are connection related rather than a disk problem and would be triggering retries. They never reset to 0. Occasional CRC errors is not really something to worry about but if you get lots of them you should look into the power and SATA cabling to the drive as the most likely culprits.

Ah yes, sorry, I should have included that before.

April 22, 20242 yr A single CRC error is nothing, just a spurious comminucation failure between drive and controller.
