I have a Synology 4 drive NAS.
One of the drives is starting to throw some occasional warnings suggesting some bad sectors.
The data is backed up on about 3 different places so that's sorted.
But given all the drives are about 8 years old, I'm guessing if one is failing, then the others might not be to far behind.
Thoughts?
I really don't want to buy 4 6TB drives at the mo as the prices seem crazy. But Equally, don't want to have to rebuild the NAS if two drives totally fail in quick succession.
