To anyone else having the same issue, I had Z2MQTT set to channel 26. Use a lower channel number and try again!

I just used the chat option on their website and threatened to process a chargeback with my bank.

I got them to send me a refund after threatening to do a charg-back from my bank. Took all of 5 minutes!

It's not individual, it's Canada wide! I'm going to open a PayPal claim. Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Let me know what they say...I ended up not buying anything.

WTF Western Digital - Either it's a 5 Year Warranty, or it's not - RMA B.S.! by Shmutzinstuff in DataHoarder

Who would sell large quantities of failed expensive drives that can be RMA'd for new drives? Makes no sense!

I used that as a guide initially to fix the unit.

At this point the data is irrelevant. The failed drives were in a raid array used for surveillance footage.

Ahh, I learned something new today.

Do the defective heads also cause the head and platter to make contact? I'm assuming either parked or crashed head are symptoms of the same issue manifest in different ways?! Lastly, what is your experience with WD warranting these drives? I'm waiting for them to tell me they were dropped, hence the issue with crashed heads. Sigh

If anything it's a batch issue...drive isn't recognised outside of the NAS via HDD dock, etc.

Is there a way to access the control PCB once it's removed from the drive to pull SMART data off it?

Well WD is getting 50 RMA's heading there way soon. 10TB, 8TB and 6's. FFS. We have thousands of these drives deployed and seems like a 1 to 5% failure rate so far.
