   Shut down the second NAS; will run a consistency check on the main NAS's MediaShare, now that I have the hashes for the MediaDrive.

     Finally started the consistency check on MediaShare. So far, so good.

     The consistency check has passed, so the MediaDrive is erased. For now, it has the latest data from my main laptop, soon to be sent to the main NAS.
     
     Meanwhile, there are two copies of a 500GB laptop HDD image, and the hashes do not match.
     
     Toshiba 1TB HDD - original image copy
     WD 1TB HDD - second image copy
     
     The second image copy is the bad one; that drive where the second image copy resides has pending sectors; the original is fine. I'll copy the original again to that drive after copying both of them to the 4TB scratch drive.

     Copied the 500GB HDD image to the WD 1TB HDD again, and got an entirely different hash from the last attempt. The drive will have to be zero-filled.

     Yeah, the terabyte drive is to not be trusted... until I should try it out on a USB 3.x enclosure.
     
     The 500GB image had an entirely different hash, even after zero-filling the drive.
