repeated failure on same disk
I have a Readynas NV. DIsk 2 has failed 3 separate times. I am wondering if there can be a problem with the NV. Each time it has been a new drive added. The reallocated sector count will start increasing until I get a message that the smart assessment has failed. I am skeptical that I keep getting a bad drive on the same bay.

How many reallocated sectors are reported in Seatools (you can access the SMART info, it is separate from the tests).kgfarrell wrote: Both drives flagged as having excessive reallocated sectors passed the seatools long generic tests. - SeaTools for Windows only gives a pass/fail for the SMART test. I don't know about the other versions.
- As PapaBear indicated Seatools for Windows is only indicating the both drives passed the test. No additional info re: the disks is available.
- sorry - WD lifeguard lets you see the smart parameters, but not seatools. (note lifeguard will show them for any disks, including seagate)
- That is good to know.
