WD RED Smart bad info?
Hello community! Last April I bought two WD Red 4TB WD40EFRX hard drives (I bought them with a difference of 7 days) and replaced them with the two 2TB WD Green I had in the Readynas Ultra 2 with RAIDIATOR 4.2.31 (Readynas HCL indicates that this hard disks are compatible with readynas ultra 2) . I did a hard reset to the ReadyNAS Ultra 2 and started with the default configuration to configure it and enter all my data (about 2tb). The NAS will have been online all this time (it was stopped about 10 days only on summer). If it was on all that time, there is something that does not work well in the SMART of the hard disks or the way in which the SMART is read. Today I find that the hard drives have 2528 hours and 2359 hours respectively. Something is wrong. If you have been practically 24 hours since April you can not have that number of hours that is equivalent to about 105 days for the first and 98 days for the second. However, the NAS now has 154 days of uptime. Is this normal? I do not know if this is the problem of the Raidiator or the SMART of the WD RED, has this happened to more people? Taking advantage, I downloaded the logs, and there are the last 10 dates of smart that I attach to this message. And there are times when the number of hours is greater than the current one. How is it possible? 2017-11-05: sda: Power_On_Hours 3378 sdb: Power_On_Hours 3209 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/7FCvfH6A 2017-11-12: sda: Power_On_Hours 3546 sdb: Power_On_Hours 3377 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/VTR13The 2017-11-19: sda: Power_On_Hours 2520 sdb: Power_On_Hours 2352 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/G6AZ7n9v 2017-11-26: sda: Power_On_Hours 2688 sdb: Power_On_Hours 2520 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/46Y9HSZR 2017-12-03: sda: Power_On_Hours 2856 sdb: Power_On_Hours 2688 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/kSNkTxxY 2017-12-10: sda: Power_On_Hours 3024 sdb: Power_On_Hours 2855 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/8qEYxec9 2017-12-17: sda: Power_On_Hours 3192 sdb: Power_On_Hours 3023 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/mHx4EWHy 2017-12-24: sda: Power_On_Hours 3360 sdb: Power_On_Hours 3191 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/0U1M5TbV 2017-12-31: sda: Power_On_Hours 3527 sdb: Power_On_Hours 3359 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/ezMstNPu 2017-01-07: sda: Power_On_Hours 2502 sdb: Power_On_Hours 2334 Complete log: https://pastebin.com/qdZXfzz3 I attach the complete logs of SMART on pastebin and I would appreciate it if you would orient me to this strange problem Thanks to everyone!
NV + ... time to change hard drives?
I have had an Infrant / Netgear NV + for a long time. 6 years no down time! It is a 2 TB / 4 bay setup. It only came with 2 Seagate ST 3500630AS 500 Gb drives with room to grow. Now, one of the drives is down. Is the best (or only) thing to do is replace with same? I was thinking of filling up the other two bays. Is this best policy: replace with refurbish ... then copy all files to another computer ... then install 4 new compatible drives to NV+ ... to get most reliability over next few years? If so, what Seagate Model number? Has to be 500 gb I assume. Thanks for your consideration, Gary
NV+ with Seagate ST2000DL001
Seagate has replaced my reallocating ST32000542AS with a "certified repaired" ST2000DL001. I have had to send in many of the original ST32000542AS drives, but they have always sent me the same drives. This time (presumably because of low stock) has sent me one of the newer ST2000DL001 drives that are not on the HCL. I know the ST2000DL003 is on the HCL, will the ST2000DL001 work correctly - does anyone have experience with this drive? Thanks, -David
