If the disk is not detected on another bay with different cables then it's dead, check if it's detected in the bios.

I'm guessing there must be some issue with the preclear plugin preventing disks from appearing in UD.

I would just stick to WD or HGST drives.  Seagate (despite the evidence from Backblaze) are the ones that people always seem to come up when having drive issues.

 

FUD.

 

There's probably more Seagate drives out there, because they're generally a few dollars/pounds cheaper than the WD/HGST equivalent. So, yes, there's going to be more apparent problems with them.

 

I run 50/50 Seagate/WD, and over the past few years I've had to RMA one Seagate and 4 WD.  The WD RMA process was shockingly bad (they replaced a 5TB Red with a 4TB Blue, took 3 months and eventually swapped for a 5TB Purple).
