ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer drive not adding (RNDP600E)

Hello & happy summery winter Saturday!  Question on Pro Pioneer 6.9.6

 

I have hot removed a 16TB WD Red Pro HDD in slot #2 and added a brand new 18TB WD181KFGX, however the volume is not rebuilding using the new HDD.

 

Have I done something out of order?  Should I remove the new HDD and connect via SATA adapter to a computer and look for any factory partitions that need removing?  I never needed to do that before with a brank new WD HDD...

      There are errors in the log files for the new disk

      Dec 25 09:55:22 Ascent-Pioneer kernel: ata2.00: failed command: SMART

      I suggest testing the disk in a PC with WDC's dashboard program.

       

      BTW, you shouldn't post the log zip publicly - there is privacy leakage when you do that.  I've redacted your link.

        Thank you times two Stephen!

         

        Q:  Can I re-insert the old HDD back into that slot 2 and get redundency back in the meantime??
