head crash, ouch.

@skinnepa Absolutely. I'm sure the drobo didn't fix the drive, it was just intermittently grinding. Once the drobo figured the drive was no longer grinding, it went to work finding the damaged data and re-writing it to protect it.

Indeed, replacing that drive couldn't happen soon enough. Thanks for the video. Amazing how it somehow "recovered" and made the noise stop. Kinda weird no?

He thank you for explaining macgyver ;-)

DROBO - my worst mistake ever!by suckerer1,189 views

@ENGINEBLOWUK That's actually how that particular drive was manufactured. You can see the one on top also has a "notched" (if you will) cover.

Have you ever had a drobo successfully "repair" a drive with bad sectors? This would be similar to a system repairing a RAID-1 volume. I only see reviews and documentation of drobos just retrying and kicking out "bad drives" and nothing about repairing or omitting bad sectors or blocks.

@chikotube Yes, I believe this is what happened in this video. The grinding head of the bad drive damaged some sectors, once the Drobo recognized there was a problem with that drive, it restarted and went into "Data Recovery" mode and rebuilt the missing data from parity in the other drives.
This was a special case in which the grinding head recovered and was "operating" after the reboot, I'm sure if it was still grinding after the reboot the Drobo would have deemed the drive dead for good.

Which one of your drives was broke?

@HoneycombAgent , One of my 500GB drives failed (Western Digital). It was cannibalized from a cheapo hard drive so I couldn't warranty it even though it was only about 2 years old. I currently have 3- 1TB drives in it now, all WD with a really nice 5 year warranty on them.
