I have a Buffalo TeraStation TS51210RH

(https://i.imgur.com/bj2mI61.jpg)

It has 12 HGST He8 8tb drives. 1st drive started getting bad sectors and died 2 weeks ago, the other died suddenly today. Both drives had less that 4,000 hours on them

I have the NAS in a closet because the power supply is loud AF, the NAS has never sent a notification that it was over heating. Can heat be killing these drives anyway? If not any ideas what might be killing them?

Another drive failed

3rd drive in close to 3 1/2 weeks

I've learned it is not a heat issue, this time the unit was in a 68 degree room.

All my troubles started after updating to firmware 4.00-0.36. Unit worked great for 5-6 months, updated to 4.00-0.36 and a month and a half later 3 dead drives.

Only 3 people access this unit, all using same 1gig connection. Over use is not an issue, it is mainly just used for storage.

Here is system log file

maybe its a bug with fancontrol

full speed 2238 is lower than slow 2420 ?

Backup you logs and post it to buffalo

they should pay for the discs
