I have a WD DL4100, inside is 4 x 2TB WD Red HDD configured as RAID5, however two are now showing as "bad", what is the best way to get this resolved?
The drives are still under warranty so I could send two drives away and wait for them to replace them, but how much of a risk is that to the NAS running on only two drives in the meantime?
And does a BAD SMART reading always mean the drive is bad, in other words can I send it back to WD and they say the drive is fine?
