Hello All,
I just picked up a Seagate 2TB drive and have run preclear on it twice now. I think the drive is ok, but I would like to make sure before adding it to my array. The first time around the Raw_Read_Error_Rate started at 100 and ended at 108 with threshold of 006. I wanted to be safe so I precleared it again. This time the started at 108 and ended at 112. It took about 29 hours to finish both times.
If I understand the output correctly, that means the drive is good, since the value is moving away from the threshold. Is that right?
Here are my output screens.
Thanks for taking a look. I appreciate it!
