Whelp, the WD 4TB model WD40EZRZ I was using as temporary storage while rebuilding/consolidating data for the “rebuild the NAS” project decided to flake out. The platters are still spinning, but the drive is no longer recognized. This is likely the partition is FUBAR, the drive firmware is FUBAR, or the controller board is FUBAR.
In preparation for swapping the board to recover the data, I am looking for some donor drive(s). If you have any fully working or flakey/dead drives that are the same model (and perhaps the same era/firmware version) I can use for parts it would be greatly appreciated!
The details for this FUBAR drive:
Western Digital Blue PC Hard Drive
4 TB with SATA connector, 64 MB cache
model WD40EZRZ
Date 8 Jan 2016
RPM: 5400 class
DCM: HHRNHT2MHB
