ATA errors at 42, should I return hard drive?
Hello. 3 out of 4 of my hard drives have ATA errors at 46. I am wondering if I should return the hard drives or just watch with caution? What exactly is an ATA error and is it like reallocated...

When I log into frontview web admin screen, it said that its a " ReadyNAS X6" however in the RAIDiator software, it comes up as "readynas 600"
Either way it's a very old EOL NAS.

May I ask what exactly do you see in the log files to indicate there is a compatible issue with the hard drives? I know that one of the drives shows 0 ATA errors and the rest show 42. If there is a compatiable issue, would it effect all the drives. I think they are all the 2TB WD green drive.
If WDTLER had been run on the disk with 0 errors or it was added after upgrading to 4.1.7 (or later) that would explain it showing no ATA errors. If there was a compatibilty issue with the other drives one would expect the count to be the same (or close to the same) on all of them.
It's up to you whether you choose to replace the disks or not. If you RMA'd them you'd likely get drives with the same issue.
