Hi there guys!
I recently changed and old pc ( with new Disks ) to my first unraid nas (its also my first nas tbh)
I ordered 2 Seagate IronWolf Pro 10 TB HDDs which:
- one arrived dead ( smart test wasnt even able to initiate neither a preclear ) which im returning (thank god amazon's return policy)
- the other precleared correctly but started rasing smart Reallocated_Sector_Ct error practically the minute I started the array.
I ordered both disks via amazon (traveled a long way from US to Mex ) and although they were marked as fragile who knows what couldve happened during transit.
One was going to be my parity disk and one my array disk with an SSD as cache but now i have one dead HDD and one which im not sure if is going to die...
The Reallocated_Sector_Ct started in around 49, then 64 then 146 and lastly ended in 200 and its being stable for about 3 days now...
According to my investigation having Reallocated_Sector_Ct is not the end of the world as long as the number is stable but its really weird since its a new disk and it precleared correctly with no issues.
Should i just send it back? tbh besides the down time of the server its not much of an issue returning it but i rather not throw a good disk to the trash if you know what i mean?
I appreciate your thoughts and let me know if you need more info besides the Diagnosticschronserver-diagnostics-20240207-2105.zip
