ATA errors at 42, should I return hard drive?
Hello. 3 out of 4 of my hard drives have ATA errors at 46. I am wondering if I should return the hard drives or just watch with caution? What exactly is an ATA error and is it like reallocated...
mdgm wrote: readysecure1985 I'm trying to establish whether the ATA errors were due to the compatibility issue on old firmware or not. Remember how there was a compatibility issue where the count would increase by 6 each reboot?
I am not familiar with the 6 ATA errors after each reboot... usually something that causes that on all disks isnt' a disk issue but a chassis issue. This is what we have in regards to more information on the WD20EARS drives: http://www.readynas.com/?p=3690
That disk is only compatible with a ReadyNAS Duo v1 for Sparc units (the NV, NV+ do not support the Caviar Green disks).
