Hi,
I'm about to add an old 500GB WD drive to my array. Although preclear passes and indicates no re-allocated sectors, there are some SMART errors reported that I'm not sure how to interpret. Can anyone suggest if the drive is "safe" to use?
I've attached the full report and finish logs, but here are some of the lines of concern:
SMART Error Log Version: 1
ATA Error Count: 89 (device log contains only the most recent five errors)
Error 89 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 2254 hours (93 days + 22 hours)
Error: UNC 8 sectors at LBA = 0x00deaa87 = 14592647
Error 88 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 2254 hours (93 days + 22 hours)
Error: UNC 128 sectors at LBA = 0x00deaa77 = 14592631
I can't even work out if 2254 hours was a long time ago or recently...
Thanks for looking
