+1 on this. it look easy from outsider perspective until you are in that shoe and feel how much courage/skill it need to say no.

mine haven’t failed but it failed to mount from time to time. if you have production environment to run consider taking a look at backblaze drive failure report.since i have nothing important on the drive i will keep it running until its final day though

i have 4tb version of exos drive and read error rate is going crazy after more than 2 years running 24/7
