Post Body

I hadn't touched the hard drives at all and only started investigating because the diskstation was beeping at me. Checked an extended SMART test on the drive to see what that said and it reported that the drive disk status was healthy/normal but the allocation status had crashed. And because of that the volume was degraded.

For safety and not losing any data i already replaced the drive with a new one, but was wondering if maybe i could still use it as an external drive if i get an enclosure to do so? And/or if not what actually happened to the drive if it's "healthy" but the allocation was crashed?
