Two Disks with Health Errors, Which to Replace first?

Featured Replies

I started getting health error warnings on two of my (oldest) disks and I only have one new drive at the moment to replace one of them. I have no experience reading SMART reports and I'm hoping someone with experience could take a look at the reports and let me know which drive I should replace first. I will replace the other drive asap but would appreciate help determining which one needs to be replaced first.

It will be a crap shoot which one you choose as the array will need rebuilding so no protection as you move forward. If a drive dies during the rebuild bye bye array.

Not all bad news, do a backup if you can before doing the swap; at least the more important stuff. I have ran Nas's (Synology / Unraid) on failing unhealthy drives for months with no issue. Just fix it ASAP.

Both don't look good, if you have single parity, there may be issues, I would run an extended SMART test on both to see if one can still pass the test.
