Perfectly good drive being wrongfully accused as dead?

Users do have problems with "green" drives and although some are on the HCL they are not recommended. Tested with seatools extended tests? In your other thread you say you used "generic" testing software? What size is the drive? How many drives in the array? Are the drives all the same model? Is this on a NV, and what firmware? Have you tried it in a different slot - to do this safely you would need to backup, rearrange your drives and restore from backup. I don't think you can just reorder the drives without creating a problem.

The drive is 2TB, there are 6 drives in the array, they are all the Seagate LP model except the drive that was flagged as dead and I replaced it with a new Hitichi however the old drive has passed Seatools extended test and basic test(using internal sata connectors which was a real pain by the way)
I also tested it as a generic drive using the Hitichi drive fitness test which is their version of seatools.

I have not tried a different slot as this system has like 98% filled with data. I could probably try it out on a different readynas system.
