Drive OK after high Reallocated Sector Count
Hi. Have two ReadyNas Duos - one for home (with 2TB drives, Raidar 4.1.7), one for work (with 1.5TB drives, Raidar 4.1.8)). I got a sudden reallocated sector count failure on one of the 2TB drives. ...
Windows might well tell you the drive is ok, as long as all the sectors are reallocated properly. That doesn't mean that the drive is healthy (as usually more failures happen quickly). And seek times the include the reallocated sectors get longer, since the drive has to divert its course to grab the reallocated data.
Seatools is a better tool, but even there Seagate has a higher failure threshold than I would like. You can also use acronis drive monitor (free download) to see the actual SMART counts.
