JorgeB Posted Tuesday at 08:16 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:16 AM I missed that in your screenshot disk2 is showing as new, you cannot add a new disk at the same time you are trying to rebuild another. Quote Link to comment

Are you actually sure that you had a disk failure or did you just assume it had failed because it was marked with a red 'x' to indicate it has been disabled? The red 'x' means that a write to the drive failed so it is no longer synced with parity, but often the write failure is caused by an external factor and the drive is actually OK and most of the data on it can still be intact and recoverable.

Having no data doesn't really matter, do you know if that a new never used before disk, or a disk that was precleared or cleared before adding to the array? Quote Link to comment
