[Preclear.sh results - Questions about your results? Post them here.]

I'm more concerned about the re-allocated sectors.  If they've truly settled down, fine.  If not, not so good.

 

I've got one drive in my array with 100 re-allocated sectors and it has stayed that way no matter how many times I've pre-cleared it.  It too was re-used from an old USB enclosure.   All we know on your drive is it want through 1 cycle without re-allocation of any additional sectors, but the prior 2 re-allocated 133.

 

My vote would be to preclear it for 2 or 3 more cycles, and if stable, use it.  If it shows signs of re-allocating more sectors, RMA it.

Thank you -- I think I will run a few more pre-clears on it just to make sure.  The drive is fairly old, I'd have to go dig up some receipts to see if it's still under warranty (probably is, just need to make sure).

Would someone mind taking a look at these results for me?

 

I've run this drive 3 times now (actually 4, but the 3rd time I was running it, my PC that I had the telnet session open on froze up during the post-read).

 

The first two times, I saw increases in the number of re-allocated sectors -- and the 3rd time, it stayed the same, but I'm concerned about some of the other values:

0 sectors were pending re-allocation before the start of the preclear.
0 sectors were pending re-allocation after pre-read in cycle 1 of 1.
0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 1 of 1.
0 sectors are pending re-allocation at the end of the preclear,
    the number of sectors pending re-allocation did not change.
133 sectors had been re-allocated before the start of the preclear.
133 sectors are re-allocated at the end of the preclear,

Should I be worried about the Raw_Read_Error_Rate, Spin_Retry_Count, End-to-End_Error, High_Fly_writes, etc?

 

This drive came out of a Seagate External Enclosure, and it's been working fine for me for a while now, I just want to make absolutely sure before I put it in my array.
