Guess I'll be looking to slowly replace them before they go belly-up. Unfortunately, it seems with each swap out I risk the very problem this is all about.

Fortunately, it's not used on 8TB+ disks yet, so you're safe.

The problem will be getting replacements for these, as it's not safe to just buy HDDs anymore.
