Hi all,

 

I ran into an issue the other week where my server was under heavy load, and suddenly started reporting current pending sector and offline uncorrectable errors on a disk. I replaced the disk with a new one, which rebuilt fine, and mounted the problematic disk as unassigned to run some diagnostics on it. After running a preclear, both the pending sector and offline uncorrectable errors disappeared, to be replaced with 7 "reported uncorrect" errors. I can't seem to clear these, despite having run multiple pre-clear cycles on the disk. SMART diagnostics for this disk (run after the pending sectors & offline uncorrectables disappeared) are attached. Is this drive safe to use at this point? I've pre-cleared it 3 times since the error event, and the reported uncorrect values are not increasing, but I was kind of expecting some values to appear in the reallocated sector count of the SMART details after running a preclear. I've had the drive plugged in for a week now and have been randomly writing stuff to it without issue.

 

Thanks!

Those won't clear, they are for the life of the disk, can just increase, disk is OK for now.
