I have a 3TB WD Red Hard Drive (WD30EFRX) which failed last night. It was giving me SMART errors but was passing the tests. However since it was still under warranty I had already requested a replacement drive (which should arrive today).
I have been researching how to Replace a Drive in Release 11 and it seems pretty straight forward.
My question however is whether or not there are any recommended steps I should take to the new drive before adding it and it starts the "Resilver" process.
For example, after I built my system several years ago I read where people were recommending a burn in or other procedures be conducted on new hard drives before putting them into a new system (something I didn't do and always worried me). Anyway, I can't seem to find recommendations however for what you do when you are adding a replacement hard drive. Any help would be appreciated.
