You must be the one. Here it was 50:50 failure on the Seagate disks - some older disks/models failed after 5-6y some kept running for 10+ andwere decommissioned. I did some research may be 7y ago and started buying 2TB WD RED for NAS - was recommended for RAID. They seem to be good. I think Kate means to move the magnetic disks from the failed driver to the one that you know is working. Clearly you can not use different make/model. But it is risky task.
