Reallocated Sectors increasing on Disk 1
I have a ReadyNAS Duo that is about 2+ years old. Very good device. It is redundant with 2 Seagate Drives, each 1 TB. They are ST31000528AS drives. Firmware is current, 4.1.8. I don't think this unit ...
I have 10 of those drives in service and have had a 40% failure rate over two years. I have one currently in service in an NVX (2x3TB Hitachi + 2x1TB ST1000528AS) and was starting to increase the ATA error, but then they stopped increasing over a month ago. I am just in a wait position now, as I know from experience that the drive will not fail SeaTools until the error count gets higher. I just have spares sitting by. While I do not care to use refurbished drives, given the number that have been replaced by Seagate, I am now forced to until I can get in a postion to replace more of my 1TB Seagates with 3TB Hitachi.
I would recommend that you a) keep your backup current (always a good idea) and b) keep a spare drive ready.
