I noticed the drive was actually visible a few minutes ago and it had a different S/N than the other WD's. I decided to take a look at the drives, and make sure all cables were seated properly, and while i was in there i took a can of compressed air to the entire box. Upon boot the drive was detected immediately, and so far hasn't dropped off, but it never dropped right away, so we'll see what happens. I'm running `badblocks -w` on it to see if it encounters any errors at all. If theres no errors, It'll go back into service as a spare in a raid6 array. I've had to mess with that system so many times the past year I forgot I ended up putting three new WD's in there after a few Seagate's failed. So there we go. Nothing here unless it drops out again. I apologize for the noise.
