4TB drive failed... Need help with steps on how to proceed
CBers replied to oj88's topic in Help and Support
Damn. I lost a 4Tb drive last year, but didn't lose anything I couldn't recover from elsewhere. I made sure I had my important content duplicated within the pool and/or backed up to my Google Drive. -
CBers started following slow copy: 8tb in 30 days, 4TB drive failed... Need help with steps on how to proceed, WD Red and Purple drives in the same pool? and 6 others

4TB drive failed... Need help with steps on how to proceed
CBers replied to oj88's topic in Help and Support
@oj88 1. Nothing available, unless you manually run something yourself, which is now too late. 2. Yes, use the Force Remove option, then you can add a drive letter to it and see if you can access anything via Window File Explorer. 3. It should do. The drive doesn't sound too bad, but it's hard to tell. What does the SMART information say? If you need anything else, let us know. Thanks. -

No reason why you couldn't.

Don't see why it wouldn't, it's only accessing a drive letter at the end of the day.

@JohnDoe Have you updated the ticket from #1 above, requesting further information? I would suggest raising tickets for #2 and #3, so that the developers are aware. Thanks. -

CBers replied to 1971camaroguy's topic in Help and Support
@1971camaroguy For future reference, in case you do it again, you don't have to do anything with your drives in DriveBender before moving to a different computer, as it will detect them when you first open the UI and ask if you want to restore the pool. I've done this multiple times over the years. -

If your pool has enough space, then you can remove a drive and DriveBender will move all of the files off of it to the other drives in the pool. If you adding new drives to increase the pool size, then I assume you don't have the space to do that, in which case the only option is to swap the drive out. You could force remove the drive, as though it had died, add the new drive to the pool, then once you had sanitised the old drive, copy the contents of that drive back to the pool.

On a clean install, once you start DriveBender, It will see the disks that you previously had in a pool and ask if you want it recreated. You say YES and it'll do it. Nothing needs copying from an old install. I've done this many times over the years.

@gethin No reason why you can't stop and restart the copy of you're doing it in Windows/File Explorer. I'm running v3.7 on my 2 servers without any issues. The latest versions have a faster enumeration of folders, so you may well see a speed increase.

Not sure why an SSD would drop out as a landing zone, as I have one in my system. I would raise a Support Ticket and ask the developers. https://support.division-m.com/hc/en-us/requests/new -

FWIW, I upgraded from v3.6 to v3.7 on 2 separate servers without any issues.
