Hex OS Drive Issue

[nether1234]

Hello all, I know it might be better to post this on the actual HEX OS site, but I am currently at work and for some reason the site is blocked so here we are... anyway when I have three drives in my NAS (using HEX OS), I run into zero issues. When I add a 4th, the exact same drive as the other 3, I get a strange clicking from the 4th drive and about an hour later I get an error saying there's something wrong with my storage pool. When I go into the HEX OS software and check each drive, it says all 4 are healthy. Any idea what the heck is going on? I have also tried two new drives so I feel like it's something else other than two bad drives in a row...

Clicking usually means the drive is dying. Pull it and drop it in a windows machine and look at it with crystal disk info
It's probable that HexOS is just not reading the SMART data correctly.

Yeah that's weird thing is that it's a brand new hard drive. Same thing happened to another brand new hard drive (same kind Seagate Ironwolf 4 TB) that I was able to refund and get this one. Maybe I will throw it in my computer while I watch WAN tonight or something and check it in Windows lol

clicking can also be caused by insufficient power and excessive vibration.
is the fault always one drive bay? or is it random which drive has the fault?

Yes same one. I did end up having to buy Molex to SATA connectors since my PS didn't have enough SATA power. I am wondering if one of those is connected to this drive then.
