January 23, 20251 yr Hello, I recently got to know UNRAID and am building a server. I bought about 6 new RED HDDs from Western Digital from China and am currently cleaning up the disks, but one of them has a SMART error. The error is End-to-end error and it says FAILING NOW, but all other errors are zero. Can I ignore this error and just use it? Or is it right to buy a new one?

New drive but should I throw it away? Can't it be a cable or PCB problem?

The drive needs to be replaced, it's always fatal D: 184 Hex: 0xB8 Attribute name: End-to-End error / IOEDC Better: Lower Critical: Yes Description: This attribute is a part of Hewlett-Packard's SMART IV technology, as well as part of other vendors' IO Error Detection and Correction schemas, and it contains a count of parity errors which occur in the data path to the media via the drive's cache RAM

Other drives I bought from the same seller also got a "Reallocated Sector count" error while cleaning the disk, so I decided to return it. Thank you.
