My qnap 8tbx4 raid 5 has a drive that popped up with am alert and some bad blocks. A couple days later the bad block count has gone from to 30 to over 1,0000.

I’ve ordered another drive, but is there a way to repair it and stop the bleeding? Is my onlychoice to chunk iy and hope the rebuild finishes?

Thanks!

    is there a way to repair it and stop the bleeding?

    Nope

    Is my only choice to chunk it and hope the rebuild finishes?

    Yep

    What should step 2 be? Is it possible to save the disk?

    Get an RMA or sell it for cheap
