                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a OWC Thunderbay 4 attached to a Mac Mini (Late 2015) with High Sierra that has been working flawlessly for 3 years with 4 WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 drives in RAID 5 configuration. Lats month I got a message that one of the disks was about to fail. So I ordered 2 new WD30EFRX-68EUZN0. I tried both as replacement disk but BOTH immediately failed with the same error "Disk or cable are defective and need to be replaced". I tried on another OWC Thunderbay 4 that is known to be working, same story. I tried the TB4 connected to my iMac and the drives work just fine. I tried the TB4 connected to the same Mini after uninstalling SoftRAID and everything worked fine.

I have to conclude that there is a problem with the SoftRAID driver WITH THOSE WD30EFRX-68EUZN0. Please note that the ones that work fine are WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 manufactured in 2015 while the ones that are having troubles are manufactured in 2018.

Any ideas?

Thank you!]]></content:encoded>
