Having seen that others are suffering RAID problems, perhaps now is an opportune time to ask about mine.
I have an Edimax enclosure with 2 x 1TB discs in it. I got a notification from it yesterday to say that sdb had either failed or would fail within the next 24 hours.
The drives were bought at the same time as the enclosure so given that one is failing or has failed, is it wise for me to replace both?
The discs in there at the moment are Seagate drives and I don't think I specified anything special for them i.e. I just bought 2 discs. This time I'm going to go for something like a WD Red drive which are specified for NAS use.
So 2 questions. Does anybody have any recommendations for discs or are the Western Digital discs ok? And second, should I replace both or is one ok for the time being?
