Time to swap out one of my Raid disks? RN 516 (6 bay)

It’s been quite awhile since I last dropped into this forum. Things have been going very smoothly with my RN516  and I have found in the past that your advice has been dispensable. I’ve come across a...

    Yes I am with Gmail. Thanks I found the reference on  my Google account to thirty party app approvals and configured it back on the Readynas rhen sent a test email. it’s all working well for the first time ever I think I bought the 516 about eight years ago so thank you Stephen for helping me get the email alerts working. hopefully I’ll be alerted to a impending disk failures a bit sooner.  I’ll mark this one as a solution

The disk are relatively new and they are the red label disks. Yes I’ve made sure I have a full backup of the data last done a few months ago. Thanks for going to the trouble to respond  Much obliged

WD20EFAX?  Or a different model?  The WD20EFAX are SMR.

    2 TB SATA WD20EFRX. 

     

    One more question. That fact that this disk reported an error means it shouldn't be trusted even if it can be reformatted and then appears OK. Which means it will probably fail again at some point in the future so best to discard?

      That's a bit of a judgment call.  I do have some disks that have generated a single error that I am still running. 

       

      What underlying errors (if any) are you seeing in the log zip?

        Ive bought and installed a seagate Iron Wolf 2TB replacement disk. Im waiting for the volumes to rebuilt. Because I configured the array for XRAID, Im guessing that at the end the process it will add the new disk to the array and write data to it.

         

        Here the dump of the log file. (If you wondering, I haven't been able to configure the alert message facility to send warnings emails to me)
