need to solve hdd failure on a Nas RN104
my 4x 4 tb rn104 nas is having problems
a couple of days ago mechanical noise and after 20 hours or recovery a second failure and again 20 hours of recover this is the report
then the second failure i want to change what i thing is broken (i think 4th 4tb hdd)
this is the situation
Also which cloud service to fast backup all or it is better to have an external hdd just for a first backup
right now i have no bckp.
I can access the nas right now
Why are you asking over and over? Just get the Ironwolf. It'll work fine.
Users here have had a better experience with Ironwolf than Barracuda.

I can't see your pictures until a moderator approves them, so can't help a lot with the root problem. But I can say that cloud backup will take an eternmity and you may not have that amount of time. Doing a local backup now while you still have access to the files is the right approach.
I have an antec system for single hdd. I want to buy a 4Tb and do the first physical bckp
the problem i cannot find 4tb st4000m000 as the originals
also ebay only US i live in Italy
It looks like the resync failed on disk 4 (per the first screenshot). The second one says a disk test is in progress, it's not clear what the timing is. However, it looks like disk 4 might have failed. The best way to confirm would be to power down the NAS, and connect the disk to a Windows PC, and test it with SeaTools. You can connect with a USB adapter/dock if you can't connect it with SATA.

Honestly I wouldn't use that disk. Some recent barracuda drives have switched to SMR technology which isn't a good choice for RAID. Look for a 4 TB Seagate Ironwolf instead. ST4000VN008 is the currently shipping model for that.
