Hi Guys,
A newbie question here.
I have a 1618+ with raid6 array and 6 disks. One of them was broken today. In fact it's quite weird. The broken one is less than 1 month old. It's a WD red pro 18TB. I bought it from Amazon. Amazon agreed to send me a brand new replacement. But I need to return the broken one.
So my question is: do I need to worry about the data safety? I know raid6 can only tolerate 2 disks failure. But some software claim be able to recover some information when even 3 disk failed. So I just wondering whether anyone can get some useful data from just 1 disk? Whether is it 0 risk or still some risk to send a disk of raid6 to others without erasing data? On my side, I cannot erase it because it even cannot be found when i put it into my PC.
Regards,
