I am running RAID5 array on 6x 3TB WD SATA disks. I have problems with all of these disks (including replaced one). Disks are being randomly kicked out from array and SMART shows pending sectors which usually can be fixed by read-write or write to that sector.
Drives with pending sectors should be RMAed.
Has anyone experienced something similar with WD green series? Is this because of WD "green" series? Anyone running raid on 3TB SATA drives can suggest model disk that runs without problems?
WD RED series is designed for this kind of usage and should not be kicked out because the drive will return UNC in a timely fashion.
