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. ...
I contacted Seagate support about this. They told me Reallocated sectors are OK/normal, and the drive should still pass Seatools. As long as it passes Seatools any warranty claim I make will be rejected.
Since this NAS is in a production environment I can't easily pull the drive to run Seatools.
Any suggestions?
