So my older backup NAS, a DS412+ that I repurposed as a backup NAS after upgrading to a newer DS1015+, was starting to run a bit short on space. The existing drives were two HGST 4GB HDDs (HDN724040ALE640), one Toshiba N300 4TB drive (HDWQ140) and a remaining Seagate 3TB drive (ST3000VN000) that I decided to replace to create the space after more than 6 years of service.
I decided to replace it with an 8TB Toshiba drive to make a subsequent increase in capacity easier, probably within the next year or so, and ordered one (HDWG180) after checking the compatibility list, though I subsequently realised I checked it for the 1019+ and not the 412+. Before realising this, I replaced the 3TB drive with the 8TB Toshiba drive and rebuilt the storage pool.
The drive has worked fine and the NAS has not displayed any problems, but when I checked the drive health info for the new drive, I noticed the drive reconnection count reading was 21 after 33 hours of power on time, whereas all the other drives on both NAS' have a zero count. I'm running an extended smart test as we speak, but could this be caused by the drive not being compatible? Or could it be a faulty drive?
