August 27, 20241 yr I'm sorry that I'm posting what seems to be a common problem, but I feel like I'm getting mixed answers reading through other posts. I finally decided to upgrade my parity drives and purchased two recertified 22TB drives from GoHardDrive. I ran a preclear on both and didn't see any issues pop up, so I pulled a drive and started the parity rebuild with the first disk. After it finished I got a notice about a single error for both "Offline uncorrectable" and "Current pending sector". I'm not sure if these specific errors can be caused by hardware, but for reference these are in a Supermicro 846 chassis. I ran the preclear in one slot, pulled one of the original parity disks, swapped it to the new drive and did the rebuild for the first disk. I ran a short smart test which passed, but when doing an extended it stops at 10%, saying "Completed: read failure" While typing this up, I just refreshed and notice both the values are at 2 now, but I have no reallocated sectors. Should I see about exchanging it, or just monitor the values? I have not rebooted yet in case I needed any logs. I was debating on starting the rebuild for the second drive and see if it has issues too but wanted to ask here about any next steps so I could RMA both at the same time in case both have problems. thehdrive-diagnostics-20240827-0042.zip
August 27, 20241 yr Author Thank you. I've never had a single smart error pop up before so I wanted to make sure it was actually failing.
