Hi all 

 so my system is showing 71 errors on one of my disks. is this a sign the disk is about to fail? 

If so, can i replace the disk with a bigger disk and rebuild onto that? 

 

whats the best course of action i should take here?

 

Also noticed that its not showing the disk temp anymore on that disk

Without the diagnostics we can only guess, I guess maybe 🙂

Can i download a specific diagnostic for that disk or do you need entire server file?

😫 cheers mate, thats a shame. 

 Whats the best way to replace it (whilst its still working) just remove it and replace the a new one? will Unraid ask me if i want to rebuild onto that disk ?

Yes, a standard replacement:

Cheers mate looks like a fairly simple procedure  will get a bigger replacement. seems strange that it  "has" to rebuild and i cannot just copy it since its still working at the moment 

Out of interest what determines that its failing. Not that i done believe it, I do as it has errors but just out of interest since it says its passing its smart test etc. 

Raw_Read_Error_Rate should be zero or at least a very low value, and there is a recent UNC @ LBA error, AKA read error.
