April 9, 20224 yr Extended SMART test, reallocating bad sectors of drive. Should i pull and replace drive or can i rebuild on top of drive ? Reallocated sector ct is 160 at 90% complete. Edited April 9, 20224 yr by x88dually
April 9, 20224 yr Community Expert Generally, reallocated sectors are a pre-fail indicator. Without any other details, it's impossible to comment on your specific situation, but for me any bad sectors is a drive failure and I replace. All drives are needed to rebuild any other failed drive, so using sketchy drives in the array isn't worth it.
