Relatively healthy, there are a few reallocated sectors, but could be old, run an extended SMART test.

Does the extended test take long ?, I started it and it went straight to 10% and has been on that for half an hour now

Yes, it's a full surface scan, approximate time is mentioned on the SMART report:

 

Extended self-test routine
recommended polling time:      ( 390) minutes.

Why wouldn't it be?

It did, but the disk doesn't look very healthy, some concerning attributes, especially Multi_Zone_Error_Rate which would be 0 on a healthy WD drive, still and since you already replaced the power cable I would swap the SATA cable with a different disk, this means it will also use a different SATA port, then try again, if it fails again it's likely the disk.

ok, I swapped sata cable, do I need to initiate the rebuild process again ?, if it is the disk, is it a case that its not good enough for unraid to utilise it, could I format it and use it as mule for transporting large quantities of data to and from server

You have a new notification johnnie.black quoted you in a topic- data rebuild, 3 strikes and out -.url

well its rebuilding again, not holding my breath, its marked as faulty in the disc stats on dashboard
