Yeah they're reds. Is there a way I can check how many hours they have on them? 10,000 is just over a year. They're a couple years old now.
I'm not too concerned about them failing, I can afford to replace one without notice and they're mirrored. And backed up in some other easy stores.
smartctl
But 10.000 seems on the low side, i have 4 datacenter toshiba 10tb disks with 40k hours and expect them to do at least 80k, but you can have bad luck and one fails prematurely.
If its within warranty, you can get it replaced, if not, tough luck.
Always have stuff protected in raid/zfs and backed up if you value the data or dont want a weekend ruined because you now have to reinstall.
And with big disks, consider having more disks as redundancy as another might get a bit-error while restoring the failed one. (check the statistical averages of the disk in the datasheet)
I wouldn't start worrying until 50k+ hours.
There should be a way to view SMART info and that includes an hour count.
That info can be found in the smart data for the drives, but I didn't mean 10,000 hours, more like > 50,000
I believe the synology DSM should have a feature for this. Try the storage manager app and it should tell you SMART info.
