Well, it looks like I may have been looking at the wrong column in this email result... looks like the reallocated sectors are 0? But, there are s few things that are flagged as near_thresh in the difference report. If I look at the pre and post preclear difference log (for example, Spin_Retry_Count ), there is no difference in the individual pre and post tables ** Changed attributes in files: /tmp/smart_start_sdc /tmp/smart_finish_sdc ATTRIBUTE NEW_VAL OLD_VAL FAILURE_THRESHOLD STATUS RAW_VALUE Raw_Read_Error_Rate = 116 117 6 ok 108888045 Spin_Retry_Count = 100 100 97 near_thresh 9 End-to-End_Error = 100 100 99 near_thresh 0 Airflow_Temperature_Cel = 65 67 45 near_thresh 35 Temperature_Celsius = 35 33 0 ok 35 Hardware_ECC_Recovered = 60 54 0 ok 108888045 No SMART attributes are FAILING_NOW The full log is attached to my original post a few posts up, can someone please shed some light on this for me? Thanks!

I've got an older 750GB barracuda 7200 drive that I went through hell with in the past.... when the whole click of death thing was happening to all the seagate drives. First one crashed after a month, second one after a week, this is the 3rd... it started occasionally clicking after a week or so, so I decided to basically stop using it as opposed to continual RMAs. Fast forward to now ~4 years later... the drive has a 5-year warranty and still has some covered time left, and now I want to see if I can either start using it in the array, or RMA it and hopefully get a good working replacement this time. On windows, I use their SeaTools tool (which they imply is required to show errors to RMA it). Well, all the SeaTools tests (short, long, smart) pass... but using other smart tools, they show issues (100 reallocated sectors). I figured I'd put it into my unraid box and preclear it to see if it can finally kill it... well, it seems to not be getting worse, and I haven't noticed clicking for a while... but I'm hesitant to use it seeing as I remember it scaring me in the past. Can someone look over my preclear results email (which includes the pre and post 3-cycle SMART results)? If either you think its OK to use in the array, or if there's something I can point out when trying to RMA, please let me know! Thanks! preclear_seagate.txt

I'm 21 hours into clearing a new WD 2TB EARX, and its 50% through the post-read. The Post read MB/s is substantially lower than the pre-read MB/s, even at the same point in the read-cycle. Why is this, is this normal? For the post read 50% complete email (which came at 21 hours in)... the email-subject header says: 79.2 MB/s but the message body contains: "Calculated Read Speed: 46 MB/s" Compared to the pre-read 50% email subject header: 82.6 MB/s, email body "88 MB/s". However, if I look at the screen's actual output of the currently running process, its currently reading high 70's-log 80's MB/s
