Hi,
Yes the two drives in Bay 2 & 4 were replaced. The original drives which failed were replaced by WD.
I will have to test the two disk which I removed from the storage device using lifeguard to determine if there are errors.
1. Same two bays.
2. New drives.
3. Same failure as 11 months ago.
We cannot keep replacing disks on a device where the disks in the same bays are failing.
