Hey there,

 

After many good years with FreeNAS, I have decided to try out unRAID and so far I absolutely love it. After the initial heartbreak of having a drive die on me (all easily replaceable data thankfully!) during the FreeNAS -> temp storage -> unRAID transition I am having some other problems that I'm now turning to the community here to help me with.

 

I've had 2 drives, Disk 1 and Disk 3, give me 'Current pending sector' errors, and after running the 'SMART extended self-test' Disk 1 has returned to normal while Disk 3 is still giving me Current Pending Sector errors. These drives are getting quite old (around 3.5 years of power on hours) so if they are indeed on their way out I won't be too disappointed, but I'd still like to hear what people here have to say about it. I'll attach some log files below. 

Thanks.

Disk3 need to be replaced now, disk1 had some read errors recently, but is fine for now, you can keep using it for now depending on the level of risk you're comfortable with, it will likely have more issues in the near future.

Alright, thanks dude. That's exactly what I wanted to know. Kind of sucks that it is the WD Red drive when I have a crappy Seagate that has an extra 8 months powered on time compared to that drive in the same array.

 

EDIT

 

By needs to be replaced now, does that mean that it is somehow affecting the rest of the array? Or can I safely just let Disk 3 ride until she dies?
