Guys, I’m using this HDD (ST8000NM000A-2KE101) as a parity drive in a snapraid configuration, most of the time it is in spin down mode. A couple of days ago scrutiny shown a failed status with ‘command timeout’. Do you think it could be a real problem or is it because of the recovery time from the spin down status?
Drive controller board or the interface. The physical plates inside are likely fine though. You can probably have this recovered for under $500.
