Cstolworthy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 unRAID recently started reporting an error with a drive. I ran an extended SMART test on the drive (attached), which did not complete due to an error. This drive is my parity drive and it is currently a 4Tb drive. My first question, is the drive beginning to fail? I assume so, since not being able to complete a SMART test is generally a bad thing. My second question is, if I want to take this opportunity to upgrade to an 8Tb drive do I have to do anything other than adding the new drive to the array?

You may want to preclear it first to make sure it's reliable than just add it. Quote Link to comment
Cstolworthy Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thank you. I have ordered a new 8 Tb drive, and the old drive is still in warranty to it is going through the RMA process now. Quote Link to comment
