I finally got some time to read these links....

Thank you, thank you..... I did get a link passed onto me years ago by Martin & I also did quite a bit googleing myself at the time but all the solutions then were not laid out well to follow what to do to cure the issue, whereas that link is exactly what I was looking for.... I can't believe after all these years I may actually get it fixed...although they do say to backup all your data prior to doing the firmware update.... probably just the normal warning but.... so I can see our new recording 4TB drive being "tested" in my own PC prior to making it into the server <grin>

Quote:here's a report on HD reliability from a enterprise store company
At Backblaze we now have 34,881 drives and store over 100 petabytes of data. We continually track how our disk drives are doing, which ones are reliable, and which ones need to be replaced.
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-driv...mber-2014/

And that link was also very interesting & it looks like the Seagate 4TB is one of the more reliable drives at the moment which is good as that is the one I am looking at getting Smile

Backblaze's site is worth looking at. They've found that the Seagate Barracuda 3TB drives - and they've bought hundreds - in particular are poor when it comes to reliability. I seem to gone through a few too.
- Silent client PVR: HDPlex HS.1 aluminium fanless case / Thin-ITX ASRock H81TM-ITX motherboard / Intel Celeron 1850T CPU / 4GB RAM / 120GB SSD / TBS6982 DBS-S2 [SIZE=1]dual-tuner card / Win10+nPVR+Plex Media Player feeding LG OLED55B6V + Anthem MRX510 AV Receiver / PMC GB1 / B&W / REL speakers.
- Noisy NAS: Xeon / Intel mobo / 16GB RAM / FreeNAS + Ubuntu VMs on VMware ESXi + 12TB RAID
[/SIZE] running Plex Media Server
