Hi,
Apologies, looks like I missed your reply and was just looking at this thread.
So to recap, I setup the new drives in a new volume on the NAS and it consists of 2 x WD40EFZX and 1 x WD40EFRX drive and so far, no issues. No errors on the drives, all seems ok.
However, I have just received a report advising of : Drive reconnection count: 1 for one of my WD40ERFX drives in the first volume (all drives are the same except for the last part, the drive reporting reconnection count: 1 is a 68WT0N0 whereas the others are 68N32N0.
I’ve started a extended smart test of the drive but the initial indication is it will take approx. 10hrs to complete so I’ll look at it tomorrow and see what it says.
upon looking online, some say run extended smart test, if number goes up, replace the drive, if it doesn’t basically don’t worry too much about it. Alternative suggestion is replace the drive, if get a count again on replace drive, it is likely not the drive but the nas itself.
So going to see what the smart test says and then decided do I want to buy anther drive or not… plus I need to find the right ones again :)
Not noticed any real difference in performance but then this error was only reported today so will have to wait and see.
On previous nas I had this error on a different drive bay and i replaced and that’s been fine (when i got new nas, I put the drives in same order) and still no issues.
Only thing happened to NAS recently is a update in the software to a new version (new gui etc) so bit of a bigish update and someone else reported a error with a drive after the update of nas so coincidence? not sure.
Time will tell.

Thanks, with the NAS I have, there is no need to open the case etc to fit the drive, I simply pull the HD caddy out (for want of a better work) and then slide it back in and that’s it. There is a board at the back which the drive connects to hence making the connection so no cables/connectors to manually connect.
I read that it means bad sectors found and could be signs of the drive starting to fail. As said had this once on my previous NAS (had it for around 6 years) and only changed it as was out of warranty and manufacturer stopped support for it but has been a good unit. Had 1 power issue with it and they simply sent me a replacement to fit myself, easily done. Other than that I’ve had 1 of these errors before on bay 3 and I replaced the drive and all was fine, no further errors. So hence ordered a replacement as suspect error will go away once replaced. I did used to have a spare but I think when I setup second volume as I hadn’t needed to replace any drives, I used it as part of the 2nd volume as also reduced cost of buying the drives as I had 1 already but has left me with no spare to swap out if issues arise.
Again, will be in same boat now one this one arrives and is replaced but can look to get one a bit later as a spare, although maybe they will replace this model with something else.

From what I read, it could be either. As said last time, I changed the disk and no more errors since and that was in prob 2018 or 2019.
