Since the beginning of the year, I’ve had three WD Purple 4TB drives fail in Slot 6 of my Pegasus system. All were used but had 100% health and were not heavily utilized. I don’t use the Pegasus as frequently as before, typically running it for 8–16 hours per week. Could this indicate a problem with Slot 6, or is there a broader issue with the system? Or am i just super duper unlucky to get 3 bad drives in a row

one thing to note , i oddly remember this happening to my R4 as well.. is there anyway to diagnose if its unlucky dying drives or issues w the SATA port in the R6 or the internal SAS RAID Card

Hi James,

It could well be that slot 6 has gone bad. It's very uncommon, but it has happened.

If you can take a service report, zip it (you can't upload an html file) and attach it to your post we can see what the logs say.
