Since got 4x 6tb wd red from work, 2 failed. Manufacturered Nov 2014 to replace 4x 3tb wd red dated 2013.
So ordered brand new 4x 6tb wd red march 2020, now replacing each disk in the NAS from 4x 3tb to 4x 6tb yippee. Takes ages though.
Disk per day or so. Lol
But I am using raid 6 for 2 disk failures. Because I ain't bothered about how space I have. (Even though I am upgrading to 12tb from 6tb (after raid 6).
I really hope you checked that those HDDs are actually CDR instead SMR!
