Reallocated Sector Count - Best Practices
I've got a set of 6 Seagate ST3500514NS 500GB - each drive seems to pick up an additional reallocated sector every week or two. Some of them are up to around ~30 reallocated sectors at this point. ...
Thanks for the replies.
I was a little concerned about this, so I already have some replacement drives on hand. I've been checking daily on drive health to try to watch for a failure or any acceleration in the sector growth.
I guess there isn't much else I can do except wait until reallocated sectors reaches 50 on each of the drives, and I can RMA them one by one.
