Seagate 1.5TB to Samsung 2TB Smart failed
I'm replacing my Seagate ST31500341AS [1397 GB] with SAMSUNG HD204UI [1862 GB] one by one on my Readynas NV+ and currently its syncing the 2th disk. Then i got the shock of my life while this error message popped up:
This is the drive i just replaced. Here is the smart data:
Personally i don't see anything wrong with the drive, can i safely continue replacing the other disks? I don't see why it would say it did not pass SMART?
Disk 1 did not pass SMART self-assessment test. Please replace this disk as soon as possible. Growing SMART errors indicate a disk that may fail soon. If the errors continue to increase, you should be prepared to replace the disk.
This is the drive i just replaced. Here is the smart data:

- The Samsung disk is not on the Hardware Compatibility List for the NV+. In fact no Samsung 2TB drive is on the list.
- Did the same thing and I got the same message. Did you ever get it resolved?
- The HD204UI is at least now on the list.
- The HD204UI is a 4K sector HDD. If your original HDD's where 512 byte sector based (high probability they were) then the only way to properly align them is by performing a factory reset with the new drives in place.
A FACTORY RESET WILL WIPEOUT EVERYTHING ON THE DISKS INCLUDING DATA!!!
You can verify your alignment by...Download the logs via Status > Logs > Download all Logs. Unzip. The contents of partition.log will indicate whether you have 4k sector alignment.
You're looking for something similar...
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 32 4096031 2048000 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hdc2 4096032 4608031 256000 82 Linux swap / Solaris
As you can see, the start numbers e.g. 32, are divisible by 8 indicating that the partitions are aligned properly for 4k sectors.
What version of RAIDiator are you using?
I'm not sure if it would cause SMART errors but it's a place to start.
Also, what browser are you using to view Frontview (and the SMART errors)? I have noticed that in Internet Explorer the SMART data doesn't seem to update like it should, whereas Firefox will properly show the current data.
