Reliability of WD RED drives & Synology - Enquiries - 05-31-2023

Hi Guys, I've been a follower of your Youtube channel since early 2018 and your advice lead me towards the Synology 918+. Thank you.

I'd lbe interested in what you make on a Youtube clip I just found from SpaceRex.

I bought my DS 918+ back in May 2018 along with 4x 6TB WD Red (wdc-wd60efrx). I just checked my disk health after watching your video and found they're all green (healthy) with no issues shown. I run short DST health checks every month and Extended tests every 4 months. Am I the odd one out here? (Currently using DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5)"

Thank you soooo much for all your advise and insight over the years.

Regards
Raj Dhand

we have an answer to this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZLsPto36b4&t=3s

It is just a warning system that DSM ignores.
