WD Red NAS Hard Drive 4TB

After 2.5 years of usage, my old backup drive (Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB) failed. Drive usage was minimal, but it was on 24/7. New disk decided to be NAS specialized 4.0 TB. Since I believe, it will be backup for this and next generation of home storage. I hope it will serve more than 2.5 year. So this time disk is WD Red NAS Hard Drive 4.0 TB WD40EFRX.

Weather station that always show 20% RH

Relative Humidity Sensor. Detail in weather stations that live only about couple of years. It looks like:
Old_RH_Sensors

Size may vary. It may have different number of black lines but it always work same way and got broken same way. Special coating on sensor getting old and disappear. When it happened there is always RH=20% on weather station display. Why not RH=0%? Because this type of sensors cannot measure RH lower than 20%. Therefore, when it got broken there is ~20% RH on display.

RH Sensor must be replaced to fix the issue.
