Did I get two bad Seagate disks in a row or is there something wrong with my new QNAP - RealSugar - 01-29-2024
I bought a new QNAP TS-464 with four Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB disks. I immediately got a ""Host: 3.5" SATA HDD 2": Read I/O error, "ABORTED COMMAND "" warning. I installed the DA Drive Analyzer and applied the license on that one disk. It came back with a "moderate risk" warning for the disk. I returned the drive to Amazon (USA), and replaced it with another Seagate IronWolf Pro 16 TB. Now I am getting the same warning message, with an even worse message for the new disk (Critical - Drive at Risk).
Is it worth trying to replace the disk again (maybe another brand?) or should I start thinking there is something wrong with the QNAP itself? There are no warnings on the other 3 disks, just the one on bay 2.
I've been following your YouTube channel ever since I got hit with ransomware a couple years ago. Thanks!

I appreciate your prompt response and the suggestions provided. Considering the critical nature of the warning messages and the persistence of issues even with a replacement disk, it might be worthwhile to try again with a brand-new Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB. Occasionally, entire batches can have manufacturing issues, and getting a fresh unit might resolve the problems you're encountering.
