February 7, 20242 yr so I got a refurb WD HDD, ran pre-clear, the first full pre-clear, it failed at the very end of post-read, pre-read and zero were fine. I didn't save any logs, since I thought if the disk is bad, I'll just ask the merchant for a replacement. no big deal. but, before I initiate replacement call, it doesn't hurt to run preclear again, just to confirm, right? so I ran preclear the 2nd time, and it passed without a hitch. so now I'm confused, is there any problem with this HDD? is this common? it's connect to my unraid rig via external-powered sata-usb adapter for HDD to run preclear. Thanks. Edited February 7, 20242 yr by superfans124

USB not recommended for array or pools, but might be OK for unassigned device. Does that adapter support UASP?

Does that adapter support UASP? thanks. it does support UASP, even tho I don't understand it, but going back to the amazon listing where I purchased it, it states so... I will do memtest, and report back with any finding.
