[Nottingham] Disc failure in a RAID 1 array

All SMART tests passed, drive claims to be perfectly healthy with no failures and the RAID is rebuilding.
Still, too close for comfort and a reminder to set up some kind of monitoring/alert thing so I get informed.

Questions about new drives still stand and looking at the Q1 2018 from Back Blaze, seems Seagate have upped their game: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-stats-for-q1-2018/

So maybe a 4TB IronWolf for ~£110 isn't so bad. Maybe it's resistant to Husky hair?
