NAS RN31443D freezes after a few minutes of use

Hello everyone, I have this problem. The NAS freezes after approximately 30 minutes of use. I'm afraid it's one of the 4 discs. I would like to do a single test for each disk, but I don't understand how to do it. I only find the option to test the whole disk pool.

I still ran this type of test, but after a few minutes the NAS freezes. I also tried running a SCRUB, but it always crashes at 0.7%.

How can I find out which hdd (s) have problems?

I checked the logs, but they don't report anything abnormal.

Grazie

    Unfortunately I don't understand what the problem is. I bought another NAS in consideration of the fact that this NAS was already 8 years old. Thanks anyway for the invaluable help.

    All stats in disk_info.log look clean?

     

    Are you comfortable using ssh?  It is easy to do read tests on individual drives with smartctl.

     

    It's possible that the freeze isn't linked to a drive issue. Are you seeing any warnings related to a full root partition?

      Thank you.
      Even using SSH, it crashes after a while.
      Monday I check what you told me.

        smartctl -x /dev/sda should give you details of what errors (if any) the disks have in their logs (using the appropriate names for the other drives of course).
