High Raw Read Error Rate: is it time to replace my drive?
The story:
The last few times I powered up my ReadyNAS (following a shutdown), it found and corrected errors. But the last two times I've tried, it got stuck at 98% during File System Check.
This morning, I forced skipping of FSCK (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how ... lume_check) so I could read the log file. The log file showed a SATA reset (see below), so I have initiated a RAID resync.
While that was going on, I decided to look at the SMART status of the four drives. One of them (Disk 3) shows Raw Read Error Rate of 1764; for the other three drives, that value is 0.
One other factor: I have enabled fast CIFS writes. I have a UPS, but its battery has (finally) gone bad. The system has powered itself off at least once without an "orderly" shutdown.
My question:
Would a marginal drive (with raw read errors) account for the problems I'm seeing (stuck on FSCK, SATA reset)? Or could the unscheduled shutdown be responsible for that?
Most importantly, is it time to purchase a replacement drive? (I've already ordered a replacement battery for the UPS.)

Wed Jan 8 21:18:54 PST 2014 A SATA reset has been performed on one or more of your disks that may have affected the RAID parity integrity. It is recommended that you perform a RAID volume resync from the RAID Settings tab ( accessible in the Volumes page => Volume tab in FrontView ). The resync process will run in the background, and you can continue to use the ReadyNAS in the meantime.

- Drive 3 also shows "Current Pending Sector 6" Current Pending Sectors are read failures - similar to reallocated sectors (except there is nothing to reallocate on a read failure).
I suggest powering down the NAS and testing the drive in a PC (perhaps with SeaTools, since Samsung sold their drive business to Seagate). - Thanks for catching the Current Pending Sector stats.
But what is this "PC" of which you speak? :)
I have a linux box and a bunch of Macs -- any options for testing there? - If the Linux box is an ordinary x86 box you could boot say the Ultimate Boot CD and run e.g. SeaTools.
- Very good. FWIW, according to http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/, Ultimate Boot CD ships with SeaTools already installed. (You may have meant this in your note, but it wasn't clear that this was the case.) Thanks for the tip.
- And even better, it appears that you can boot an intel-based Mac from UBCD, according to http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2622 and http://supermegaultragroovy.com/2010/05/12/booting-the-ultimate-boot-cd-in-a-mac-pro/. (The latter post was written by a ReadyNAS owner, so it is particularly relevant...)
