Hi guys,
Running a 4x3tb vdev pool.. about to order a 3tb wd red drive, which together with 3 other 3tb wd red drives that I have from an old Synology box will allow me to create a new vdev and extend my pool.
The 3 old drives weren't used for about 4 years... last time I used them they were completely fine. The question is, should I do a typical burn in on them? They were used for 3-4 years, but since I didn't use them for 4 years, I am somewhat concerned about their state (stored in the Synology box at room temperature).
My plan is to burn-in the new 3tb red to make sure its not DOA.
Thoughts?
