August 6, 20241 yr Community Expert I bought a second hand 6Tb SATA disk and before adding to my array I wanted to check it was healthy. I ran a 1-pass preclear which was successful... interestingly the disk showed zero power-on-hours, implying it was new. I dont know if someone has managed to reset the S.M.A.R.T data!! Anyway, I ran the extended self-test but it has been stuck at 10% for about 14 hours now; I am assuming that this could be a bug and the test has finished as I was able to download the results. However there are a couple of readings which I would expect to be zero too and was wondering whether anyone who understands the S.M.A.R.T Report better than I do, can let me know if the attached report looks healthy? I am concerned as it shows a Raw_Read_Error_Rate = 148109952 and Seek_Error_Rate = 12147507 which to me seems that this is a faulty disk? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks. unraid-smart-20240806-2156.zip

I dont think I have ever had an extended SMART test get past 10% - but if 24hrs is only reaching 10%, logically its going to take 10 days + to complete a whole test... so for me this isnt practical. Many thanks @JorgeB for the valuable information - can you tell its my first Seagate 🤣
