ATA errors on one disk, failed other disk
On 6/1/15 I got the following email: Detected increasing ATA errors on disk 4[ST32000542AS, 5XW1M471] 40 times in the past 30 days. This often indicates an impending failure. Please be prepare...
New disk in. Nothing. Rebooted - array rebuilding.
Another email too:
I don't believe the numbers at all. Up and down, they don't add up. Should I believe there are actually any ATA errors? It was 181 several days ago, how can it have gone from 170-181 in the last day?
Obviously, I will change the disk. But should I change the NAS (to a different brand)?
Another email too:
ATA error count has increased in the last day.
Disk 4:
Previous count: 170
Current count: 181
Growing SMART errors indicate a disk that may fail soon. If the errors continue to increase, you should be prepared to replace the disk.
