Yousty Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) I recently got a bunch of new hard drives and was preclearing them when one of them failed early in the post-read. I've done dozens of preclears and never had a preclear fail, so I was hoping for some suggestions on how to proceed? Thank you! preclear_disk_ZL24A79Y_23305.txt ST16000NM001G-2KK103_ZL24A79Y-20220415-1630.txt Edited April 15, 2022 by Yousty Quote Link to comment

For instance on a new drive you would expect Reallocated Sectors and Pending Sectors to be 0. Quote Link to comment
Yousty Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 I assumed that as well but wanted confirmation from some other more experienced people before I initiated an RMA. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
