Hi all,
I've just bought a brand new 10TB HDD for my array and it's just started reporting errors. The three it's reporting are:
Reallocated Sector Count (10 Raw Value)
Temperature Celsius (45 - not too concerned about this one).
Current Pending Sector (8 Raw Value)
I've contacted Amazon and they've helpfully stated I can return the drive for a refund, but failed to consider what happens to the data that's already on the drive. They wont send a replacement out first, so I'm in the process of being a pain in the backside.
That aside, what is the likelihood of the errors being a false-positive? I've read a number of different responses to this saying it could be and that the only way of really checking is to restart the array and run an extended SMART check. Is this true? Others have said that I need to run a few Parity checks back-to-back and if no errors are found, then it's likely fine also.
I'm currently running a parity check (0 issues found so far). Should I stop that to sort this disk? Will it ruin the parity if it does it whilst one of the disks has an error?
