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. ...
Hi.
Yes a Seagate ST32000542AS.
The reallocated sector count jumped from 0 to 1550 overnight. I ordered a new disk from Newegg that day. Two days later the count jumper to 3900 and this message "Disk 1 did not pass SMART self-assessment test." So i pulled the disk and replaced it.
Its a a pain in the rear for me to connect the disk to an internal SATA drive - its connected to an external drive enclosure via usb at the moment.
So I should just let the old drive go I guess, even though Windows thinks its fine? Just seems like such a waste. Ah well.
