I have an RN424 with three WD Red 6TB drives (WD60EFRX). A review of my log today indicates occasional "reallocated sector counts" and a recent single logged "ATA error count [14]." A popup indicated...
Thanks for your thorough reply.
Is the WD60EFPX OK? I can have one of those here tomorrow.
The error log (excerpt attached) indicates the problem is with Disc 1.

But, if you have any doubt, then download the log zip file and look at disk_info.log. That will show the smart stats and the serial number. That would also let you know if there are any other disks at risk.
Then you can use the power-down method I outlined above.
