Hello to all.  I received a message about errors on one of my drives yesterday.  I restarted in maintenance mode and ran a check and everything comes back clean, so I restarted the box.  Now today I am currently getting 160 errors on one of my drives.   I look through the smart details and see what look to be UNC errors.  I assume I have bad sectors on my drive, can someone verify they see they same thing or am I way off base?

 

I have attached diagnostics for reference.  I'm seeing the errors on disk 4.

When in doubt?... Backup and replace.

 

No one can "confirm" a drive failure before you already know its happening before your eyes.

 

I'm NOT saying your drive has failed. I continue to use a drive with a SMART error over 6 years old. Reread my first line.

Unless your drives are parked next to a magnetron or nestled up on the space station, I'd check all of your connections and if the controller has gone wonky. Pop the drives into another PC and run a SMART test to see if it's really the drives

Run an extended SMART test on disk4.

extended test shows completed with out error

 

Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error

# 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 12372 -

# 2 Short offline Completed without error 00% 12359 -

 

I will replace the drive and cable with spare and go from there

Disk is OK for now, but SMART is showing some issues, so keep and replace if there are more errors or replace now.
