ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Drive fails to resent
I have a Pro Pioneer configured as raid 1 with 3X2 drives. Running raidaitor 4.2.28. I replaced one drive on a volume with an identical 3tb drive. Tested and passed. Flashed resync for about a mi...
I already ordered another Seagate St3000DM001 disk before I received your reply. I have had good luck with the Seagate disk, first failure in 5 years with 9 disks. I will look at the others in the furture. I put the new disk in and it synced up just fine. The disk that failed was a backup disk that had been used before and was good when I took it out.
This could well be a bad disk.
Have you tried removing the disk, hooking it up to your PC and testing it using SeaTools?
Btw, I would not recommend purchasing ST3000DM001 disks. These are known to have very high failure rates. Going forward I would get SeaGate NAS or WD RED disks. The WD RED 3TB is on the hard disk compatibility list: http://readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl
Also, you have a ST2000DL003-9VT166 disk with CC3C firmware on it. This model disk is known to drop out of arrays in some cases when it shouldn't on firmware older than CC3D. You can update this disk from CC3C firmware to CC3D firmware.

Personally I've had better luck with Western Digital. I've had a run of failures with Seagates...
Manufacturer preferences weren't really the focus though. The ST3000DM001 model specifically has a poor track record in NAS/RAID setups.
If you want to stay with Seagate in the future, consider their "VN" disks instead.
