Had a bit of a panic yesterday when my DiskStation sent notifications that two of its 6TB WD Red NAS drives (SHR-array) had gone into Warning state at the same time, advising doing S.M.A.R.T. testing on both drives.
Digging a bit deeper, it seems that WDDA (Western Digital Device Analytics) has flagged a power-on-hours warning, and is suggesting replacing both drives. As they were installed at the same time, they both had about the same run times - approx 26,400 hours. Strangely enough, that's just a day or two after WD's Three-Year Warranty ran out - so WD appear to be suggesting replacing their devices as soon as they drop out of warranty.
Extended S.M.A.R.T. testing shows no errors at all on either drive so I'm not planning on replacing them both just now, but how do I disable just the run-time warning in WDDA, leaving all other WDDA testing features active? Currently they are both still showing as 'Warning' status.
