I bought 2x HC560 20TB, put them in my Synology in RAID1 and this morning I wake up to a beeping Synology. The 04 AM rsync backup task caused some kind of failure, the Disk 1 is now degraded. I took it out and I am doing a read surface test, while rsync copying the data from the remaining functional drive.

How is this possible? The disks were brand new, never used, not recertified or anything. I got them for a few months. How can one of them (seemingly) fail after 5000 hours?

SMART is OK for both.
