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. ...
The drives ARE running, they haven't failed yet. Even though it's a bad trend, it seems like Seagate might not honor an RMA until the drive has actually failed.
Have you ever returned a drive to Seagate just based off reallocated sector count? Did they honor the RMA?
I checked and pending sectors for all drives are 0 (that's good at least...)
