I had three 14tb drives fail within two weeks of each other. Two of them made horrible clicks and failed their SMART checks. The other I had to unplug to get my computer to boot.
I assumed it was my raid/passthrough card or cables doing something weird (eBay so you never know) but after reading some of the anecdotes here, I’m not so sure.
To make things even better - I submitted that RMA in August and I’m still waiting on the replacements because “the warehouse is backordered.”
I thought I was the only one.
