I have a Wd Red 4Tb in Ext4 format, in a Synology NAS, that is experiencing Bad Sectors.
As i understand, the procedure for fixture is removing the disk from NAS, and runnig the WD Diagnose toot under Windows via a USB Drive.
A couple of questions bothering me:
-
Most USB cases SATA cases I find, only admit up to 2Tb disks, others just omit this limitation, leaving us to guess if they will work or not. Does anyone in this forum can advise external hdd cases known to work with WD Red 4Tb in Ext4 Format?
-
Will the WD Diagnose Tool for Windows work with a Ext4 formated disk under Windows 10 64 bits version (since Windows would not normally read Ext4 disks)?
Thanks in advance to anyone that might help.

PS: Anyone at WD should look for a tool that woul work on NAS from other brands to directly fix this kind of error without having to remove the disks.
