My WD RED WD30EFRX experience
2 out of six WD30EFRX has failed- this is my third year with readynas ultra6 - and this disks are the first to fail on me. All other disks have not been on the HCL. This time I wanted to be smart and ...
How badly have the disks failed? It is possible you may be able to recover some of your data by cloning the disks using dd_rescue. Contact tech support (see the Online Submission link in my sig) and see what they suggest.
You could have got disks from a bad batch. Anyway with higher capacity disks the chances of dual disk failures are higher. With 6x3TB disks I think it is very risky not to use dual-redundancy especially if storing irreplaceable data that has not been backed up. No important data should be entrusted to a single device.
I have 6 of the same drives in an Ultra 6 and none of them have failed.
