I've never been a fan of Seagate drives. The first thing I did when I got my MSS was replace the Seagate drive with a Western Digital Green drive.

8TB MSS(11 WD 750GB GP drives), CFI port Multiplier, 4 bay USB, 2GB, LE-1640

MediaMonkey said: I've got the same problem, but it only appeared after I added 2 1TB WD drives. Are you saying I should scrap the factory/OS drive and just use a WD drive as a new system drive? Will this correct the constant report of 1, 2 or all 3 of my drives as "failing" when they are not?

In the interest of addressing things a single time, I have replied to this in your other thread:
