October 14, 20241 yr Hello everyone, I just bought a couple of refurbrished HDD on Amazon, 12 TB Ironwoolf NAS. Everything was fine, i set up one of them for parity and the other one for data storage (this is the one failing). The problem is that this morning when checked my server i got a ton of warning notifications "Reallocated sector count" starting to 1 until it reached 1696. TBH i'm not completly sure what does it mean. So i came to ask for your help, is my HDD failing. I'm still within the 30 days return with amazon, should i ask for a replacement, or is this "Normal"? I ran a SMART short self-test: and it said completed withouth error, and now i'm running an Extended one. Edited October 14, 20241 yr by Lancelotth Adding extra information
