2 drives in 2 months

[Timbiotic]

This is my 2nd 6tb drive that has died in past two months. Can they be saved or do I just keep replacing? Is it possibly the physical connection?

What makes you think the drive had failed?    The red ‘x’ just means that a write to the drive failed  - not that the drive itself has failed.    The vast majority of the time this is due to an external factor such as connection issue at the SATA or power level.   If you want to test the drive’s health then the extended SMART test is a good indicator.

What about all the errors ?

Running test now but it’s at 34% . But doesn’t this mean it’s dead ?

The disable one made in 2017, so you shouldn't count abnormal.

Looks more like a power/connection issue.

The type of error logged, it's not logged as a media or critical error, those usually mean a disk problem.

Before you said power or cable , do you think it’s actual disk?  I switched cable and rebuilt and so far no errors

No, like mentioned it wasn't logged as a disk problem.
