April 29, 20251 yr I just got a little over a dozen warnings from my server from "current pending sector is 16" and then "offline uncorrectable is 9" to 400 / 50. Doing a SMART extended self-test comes back with: Completed: read failure. Edit: When I look at the Identity tab for the drive, it does say SMART overall-health: Passed. I guess that drive is on its way out? Any way I can limp along for now until I can get a new drive? I do have two parity drives in the system at the moment. plexbox-smart-20250428-2053.zip Edited April 29, 20251 yr by bitzie Added Identity info

That's what I figured. Thankfully the drive is still under warranty so at least there's that. Now for a probably stupid question as this is my first drive failure. When I pull the drive to RMA it (can't really go grab another drive to use in the meantime), can the server still be up? It's primarily a Plex server with some file storage.
