WD RED WD30EFRX
The WD RED WD30EFRX 3 TB hard disk is on the list of compatible hardware for the readynas pro business edition (6 bay). Whats confusing me is that this hard disk is approved by Netgear whereas the Wes...
After reading tons of warnings about using WD greens in Ultra6 I decided to migrate to WD reds.
So I ordered 2x 3GB's reds a month ago to start replacing my 2TB greens - that went fine - no problem.
So a week ago I ordered 4 more 3TB reds - that didn't go so well :(
Disabled diskjournaling (spin down were disabled too) restarted and replaced disk1 (2TB green) with a 3TB red. Everything looked normal - expanding starts after reboot. But after some hours I get the message that HDD5has failed (the two first reds were installed in slot 5 and 6) leaving the array dead.
Tested this red disk with WD datalifeguard - "To many bad sectors detected" - blahh - tested via USB HDD adapter........
I have +90% backup of my files - so I ripped out the rest of the greens and replaced them with the reds. The alreday two installed reds were taken out and the volumes deleted.
Now - the firkin server is on the second day testing disks - how long will it take before the disk testing are done with 6x 3 TB's ????????? The box is alive (not frozen) raidar finds it and using the locate function in raidar makes the display blink.
And yeah - I did put in the "failed" red in the box again after deleting the volume - I dont trust the results I got from WD lifeguard (tested via USB).
If that red have failed afterall I will have second toughts replacing my greens in my Qnap - these greens have been running flawlessly for nearly two years
