The first of the 8 6TB drives is dead. And the first one to go is the only Hitachi which is rather disappointing as I thought that that is the most reliable one. On well, you never know. So the new drive is a 12TB one since that would probably be the next bump in capacity when the rest of the drives fail which they will eventually. Got a Seagate 12TB Ironwolf. Let’s see how the Ironwolf holds up.
