Replacing failed disk in RN426
One day I rebooted my RN426, and one of my disks (disk4, Seagate 3TB) was not longer recognized, so the volume was marked as degraded. Rebooted again, and it came up, volume resynced, everything OK. ...

Hardware failure is a possibility, but there are other possibilities.
Please send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).
Please also go to System > Settings > Support, enable Secure Diagnostic Mode and PM (Private Message) me the 5-digit number you then get or include it on your email.
Do you see SMART errors for the old disk 4 in smart_history.log?

Logs sent.
The smart status looks a bit odd.

However, the disk that failed is W500F7XV, and that's not the one that has errors reported for it. Disk *PV is still in there, and I've definitely scrubbed multiple times since 2017-10-04 without uncovering any data corruption. Potentially any errors it has are in sectors that didn't hold any data, or did the NAS manage to recover them silently from the other 3 drives at the time?
