+## Failed Disk Replacement (August 2023)
+
+So after the first read errors appeared on two drives over a year ago, one of them finally failed enough for the ZFS pool to show a degraded status.
+
+This was disk 5, the bottom most one in the 3D-printed mount.
+The server already runs hot, with the two drives with read errors reporting the highest temperatures.
+And I suspect my mount doesn't help either.
+
+Nonetheless I simply replaced the disk.

+
+The filesystem resilvered without any issues and is now running fine again, though I suspect disk 3 will probably face a similar fate soon.
