New Parity Drive - errors, is it failing already?

Featured Replies

Hello all.

 

December 19th last year I purchased a WD Red 2Tb drive to use as a new parity drive.

 

It was put in the array and has been running fine for the last month.

 

Today I noticed it has been giving error on the Unraid log for the last few days:

This has repeated a few times since:

I think I have one day more within my 30 days to report DOA so any advice would be appreciated!

 

Just to add- I have checked with Amazon (where I purchased it) and I have 1 day left to return for replacement.

Good call, next day it started spitting out loads more errors.

 

New drive has arrived today (from amazon). Think I'll give it a soak test as it was 'packaged' loose in a box with no padding at all!
