Harddisk not recognised

[TerryVog]

One of my harddisks is no longer recognised somehow. It is one of the new ones I just installed in February and it should be 4TB.

What should I do? Is it the factory’s fault? Or did it become corrupted due to the previous issues? Or can I just run some commands to restore it?

I probably don’t have to worry much about the data on it. It is mirrored on the other new drive anyway.

You might start the investigation with camcontrol devlist

ada4 is not showing in the devlist.

I think I'll just replace it.

I would test ada4's cable and port with one of the other (thus known good) cables and HDD's before making your decision, if I were you.

I wouldn't disagree, but I have been reconnecting cables for a while now and the drive itself really seems to be the problem. It is still under warranty, so I don't have to buy a new one to replace it.
