HDD Failing? ("Reallocated sector count has increased...")
Hi All, I'm after some help/advice please. I have a Ready NAS duo (sparc, which I think is v1), with 2 x 2TB HDDs in RAID (mirrored), however, for a looooong time now I've been getting the message...
What you can do is to test the disk with a drive utility tool like seatools or WD lifeguard. This will determine if the drive is still okay, but having 2958 reallocated sector count, there is a big chance that it is dead.
