December 17, 20241 yr I went on a trip and as Murphy's law dictates, one drive failed. I sent a few TBs of video back while away and I came back to the same failed and disabled drive, along with an enabled but has errors, secondary parity drive. A thing to note is the erroring parity drive only errors when parity checking and gets the same number every time: 502. I have two, larger, replacement drives preclearing and being tested now, but my question is what do I replace and in what order? There was a power flicker recently, so I don't know how helpful the diagnostics will be, but they are attached anyways. Edited July 5, 20251 yr by TheGleaner
December 17, 20241 yr Community Expert You could replace both at the same time, but run an extended SMART test on parity2 first.
