jonathanm - Understood about using old drives. Unfortunately, I am replacing my full 8 bay synology which is at 32TB currently with this install. I need those old drives to get enough space to complete the migration. Anything that appears as bad from the get go I certainly won't use for the migration... but any drives that appear OK will need to be used. Once that's done, I will rip out my good disks from the synology (higher capacity WD reds) and put those in the unraid array. So this is temporary. trurl - Correct - brand new install and still learning. I will configure.

Very thorough. One more question - will unraid alert me to disks that have pending sectors, or should I go and examine each individual disk's smart reports (or worse... rerun individual smart tests across all disks)?

Ok thanks for confirming. So even though under the disk properties it says "smart check passed" (which is weird because I can't even run the test???) you would replace it. Conventional wisdom Ive read on the forums says if the reallocated sectors don't increase I am probably still good - but if I ever see pending sectors that basically means immediately replace?

I am trying out unraid for the first time. Just built a 30 drive 21TB array. Took about 17 hours or so to run parity (I was starting from scratch... why was that necessary?). Anyway, its finally up, and I have a drive reporting some errors. It doesn't complete the smart short or extended tests, so I assume its a paper weight. However its still green on the unraid dashboard? Can someone please advise and tell me what to look out for? I already researched the reallocated sector count - too early to tell if that's still climbing and I don't know about the rest. Thanks!
