Hi, so I downloaded WD Lifeguard Diagnostics and got some interesting results:
Disc 1: Quick Scan COMPLETED 100% PASS
Disc 2: Quick Scan FAILED
Here are the results:
DISC 1
Test Option: QUICK TEST
Model Number: WDC WD30EFRX-68AX9N0
Unit Serial Number: WD-WMC1T0570693
Firmware Number: 80.00A80
Capacity: 3000.59 GB
SMART Status: PASS
Test Result: PASS
Test Time: 18:06:44, May 06, 2014
DISC 2
Test Option: QUICK TEST
Model Number: WDC WD30EFRX-68AX9N0
Unit Serial Number: WD-WMC1T0573335
Firmware Number: 80.00A80
Capacity: 3000.59 GB
SMART Status: FAIL
Test Result: FAIL
Test Error Code: 06-Quick Test on drive 2 did not complete! Status code = 07 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 97 (Unknown Test) SMART self-test did not complete on drive 2!
Test Time: 17:58:23, May 06, 2014
Guess that means that the DISC 2 is dying? Is it work running the EXTENDED TEST and fixing the bad sectors OR should I just go ahead and order & replace this drive?
