August 13, 20232 yr Hi all, Just wondering if it is safe to re-enable this drive with these S.M.A.R.T stats, mainly the reallocated sector count, or whether I should just replace the drive. I've attached the S.M.A.R.T report and server diagnostics file but it's from after a reboot so it may not be of much help. Thanks in advance.

August 14, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution In theory it is safe to use a disk with reallocated sectors as long as the value is stable and not increasing. Having said that there are more on that disk than I would be happy with.
August 14, 20232 yr Author Ah thank you, it's been increasing over the past few weeks, guess it's time for a drive replacement. 😪
