One or two reallocated sectors don't trigger an email, but maybe more than that or a rapidly increasing amount will... Mine is holding steady at 2 reallocated sectors on one of the drives. I'll give it some more time and check in again later... The ReadyNAS Pro has a bug in the SMART check at 4am where it won't send out emails on changes of the count. The next firmware release has this corrected. You can check the count manually still in the SMART box under Status>Health. I have three of these drives, two have reallocated sectors already (1-2 months old). :(

I'm afraid a lot of people will find out the hard way that a decent back up strategy is necessary...
Almost every home user works without decent back-up... Losing 1.5TB of data can be/will be very painful...
Guess I'll be able to convince more and more people into using Readynas solutions :-)

In the meantime, keeping a close eye on my two CC1H drives... still no errors so far (160 hours)
