Welp, I came home from work today to the wonderful click of death on a 4tb RAID1 setup today. One drive has, you guessed it, failed. Great, guess I have to order new drives. I settled on a pair of 8tb WD Elements from Amazon so I can shuck 'em.
My question is, what is everyone's routine for testing/verifying shucked drives either before or after the shuck process? My tentative plan is to run the included WD (or similar) drive test. I've also heard of people using a test version of Unraid and preclear but I don't want to mess with all that.
So what does the [H] forum do with their shucked drives? Drop 'em in and hope for the best? Run a WD or similar utility to test the drive? Something else? Lemme know, I'd appreciate it!
