Hiya Unraid Wizards! 

 

I've got a quick question here. So I purchased a used hard drive recently, and just got around to putting it in today. However, the drive seems to be erroring/not being detected by unraid.

 

When installing, I went through the usual process, and it showed up in `main` as unallocated (great!), so I assigned it to a slot, and started the array. After 8 seconds, it stopped due to 137 errors. I thought that was weird so I took the drive out and moved it to a new slot in my server, with sadly a similar error appearing again. 

 

I gave it a restart, and now it's not detecting the drive at all. 

 

I was wondering if any of you knew wether the drive is just busted, or I've done something wrong? 

 

I've attached my diagnostics below, it's the Seagate ST1000.valkyrie-diagnostics-20250413-1839.zip

 

Thanks everyone!

Not sure if that last diagnostic had that disk in it, so here's another where I can see it in the `main` tab.

When I press the array start button, this is what happens:

 

Disk has pending sectors and appears to be failing, you can run an extended SMART test to confirm.

 

When attempting to run an extended SMART test, the button just goes back to `start` and doesn't actually do the test.

 

The spindown time is set to never. 

 

Reboot and try again, if the same post new diags.

Thanks for your help @JorgeB!

 

Sadly, after rebooting, it did the same thing as previously.

Here are the latest diagnostics

The disk dropped offline, reboot again, but don't start the array and the rebuild, and try again.

Thanks! The extended SMART test ran. I had to reboot it and shutdown and start it quite a few times for the disk to appear again. However, it has been detected. 

 

Sadly, its been stuck on `self-test in progress, 10% complete`.valkyrie-smart-20250414-1330.zip

The progress only updates at 10% intervals, and the check takes something like 2 hours per TB.

Ah ok - I'll let it run

never mind - it got stuck and stopped doing the SMART test. Looks like it may have dropped off again?valkyrie-diagnostics-20250414-1345.zip 

Yep, I think you will need to replace that disk.

Thats a shame. I shall bring it back as there's a warranty. Thanks for your help!
