Imminent Failure? Replace now, or wait?

I have my old ReadyNAS NV+ (v1) which until recently was limping along quite happily with the Seagate ST2000DL003 drives. In the last two-three months, the middle two (not surprising, given they consistently run hotter) disks both popped their clogs after more than the obligatory service. I am running radiator 4.1.14 and raidar 4.3.8.

 

Question - my disk 1 (still the Seagate) looks like it's next judging by the ATA Error Count... I have bought 4 replacement WD20EFRX, and disks 2 & 3 seem quite happy (3 replaced most recently). Should I bite the bullet and replace the other two pre-emptively, or wait?

 

I have the ReadyNAS set up on a APC UPS, so voltage in is clean, and the unit has battery backup and clean shut-down configured.

    5 ATA errors isn't that big a deal, but 11408 reallocated sectors is.  Replace disk 1 right away.

      I would replace both starting with disk 1 (wait for resync to complete before replacing next disk).

       

      That SeaGate disk model is known to have a firmware bug and unfortunately there is no firmware update available for disks with CC32 firmware.
