Alarm in NetGear CP admin (relocated sector)
HI, Recently my NAS started showing me this issue alarm, is this something I can fix or I have to replace my HDD ?
one more thing is I notice my NAS Server sometime temp rises
so not sure is that cause because for the HDD problem or not
here is the screenshot:
The temperature rise could be linked to the failing disk (probably the only way to tell is to replace it).
I don't see an immediate need to replace the other one. But I am thinking you should consider going with 2x8TB RAID-1 instead of RAID-0. That of course would require replacing both. A transistion plan might be to consolidate to 1 disk for now, and add a second larger disk later on.
HI,
So I'm removing one of the HD but before that
I want to delete the data or format them.. what first thing I should do ?
click destroy ? which will destroy the data all ? or might not be able to use the other
one HD which has no issue ?
thanks

If you only have one volume, then you are going to lose all your data. So in that case you might as well destroy the volume, and maybe format the good disk from the web ui. Afterwards, you can create a new volume after you hot-insert the new disk.
If you have two volumes, then it's best to either destroy the one on the failing disk, or alternatively export it (then remove the disk).
Note neither one of these steps will fully purge the data, as the NAS is only doing a quick format. So if your goal is to ensure that no one who gets the disk can get any of your data, then the best path is to connect the disk to a Windows PC (using either SATA or a USB adapter/dock). Seatools has an erase disk feature that will remove all traces of your data.
