Hard Drve Failure
I got an email notification this morning saying "Disk test failed on disk in channel 2, model WDC_WD4000F9YZ-09N20L0, serial WD-WMC1F1268766." But NETGEAR RAIDar diagnostics shows the drive is heal...
I have already replaced drive 2 with a spare 4TB and all is back to normal, if another drive fails I think it's best I look for a different drive and will replace the next failed 4TB drive with either a 6TB or 8TB drive.
I don't know where I would backup 6TB of data too? one at a time every week should do it and I'll bite the bullet and go for 8TB drives, model Seagate ST8000VN0002 US$550 each with a 5yr warranty.

US street pricing of these drives is about $350, not $550. And warranty is 3 years, not five. They are comparable to the WD80EFZX.
$350 is for the ST8000AS0002 here in NZ
SeaGate archive disks are not recommended for use in a NAS.
I know that, I was just comparing prices, I can not find any ST8000VN0002 for around $350 anywhere
