Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate
Ushmel@lemmy.world 2 days agoI’ve had a couple random drop from my array recently, but they were older so I didn’t think twice about it. Does this permafry them or can you remove from the array and reinitiate for it to work?

well, it depends. if they were dropped just because they are smr and were writing slowly, I think they are fine. but otherwise…
what array system do you use? some raid software, or zfs?

Windows Server storage solutions. I took them out of the array and they still weren’t recognized in Disk Management so I assume they’re shot. It was just weird having 2 fail the same way.

I don’t have experience with windows server, but that indeed sounds like these are dead. you could check them with some pendrive bootable live linux, whether it sees them, like gparted’s edition, in case windows just hides them because it blacklisted them or something
