November 17, 20241 yr Community Expert I have a z-pool consisting of 8 x 2TB SSDs. A few months ago, I got a reallocated sector smart error on one of the drives. I replaced it. A few weeks ago, another drive in the pool presented reallocated sector errors. Today, 2 more drives also have reallocated sector errors. In total, 4 of the 9 SSDs I've ordered have given these issues. This is the make/model of the drives: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364219962090. pterodactyl-diagnostics-20241116-1728.zip
November 18, 20241 yr Author Community Expert Lol. Do you think that's the cause or could it be a flaw in my setup?
November 18, 20241 yr Community Expert Note that some reallocated sectors are normal, SSDs have some spare flash just for that and usually report how much spare is left, no point replacing until that gets low.
November 19, 20241 yr Community Expert Click on device, go to attributes tab, if that drive reports it it'll be there.
November 21, 20241 yr Author Community Expert I don't see it, so maybe these drives don't have it? The reallocated sector count looks pretty high on this one...
November 21, 20241 yr Community Expert It says "unused reserved blocks 91" and 97% endurance left... but if it really only got a few MB written and is brand new then it's just a piece of junk. Edited November 21, 20241 yr by Kilrah
November 25, 20241 yr Author Community Expert Poop. Okay. Well, I guess live and learn. These drives also run consistently hot, which may have more to do with my setup. Any brand/model you recommend?
