January 13Jan 13 I just purchased a Manufacturer Recertified WD Ultrastar DC HC530 SAS drive from serverpartdeals.com and went to preclear it to test the drive and it is not showing smart data. I have tried every SMART controller type when no success. I have uploaded screenshots of the smart data screen and the preclear screen that does not show the expected smart data like reallocated or pending sectors.. I ran a short SMART test and currently running an extended. I also downloaded the smart data from the drive after the short test and uploaded it here.Can someone please help me get the smart data displayed correctly so I can make sure the drive is operating correctly and I will get notifications when it starts to go bad?I am using a 45drives av15 case with a LSI HBA SAS Controller 9400-16i.WUH721414AL4204_9JH7WT8T_35000cca25846b994-20260113-1227.txt Edited January 13Jan 13 by sgibbers17 added what server case and SAS controller I am using
January 13Jan 13 SAS drives don't 'have the same attributes; preclear will show SMART for ATA drives.

It looks fine to me but I don't know much about smart data other than look for sector problems and I don't see any references to that in the data and I don't see any problems in the error section.What should I keep an eye out for and will unRAID notify me if there is a problem? I would have went with a SATA drive but the SAS drive was significantly cheaper and my server is SAS capable so I figured I would give it a try. This is also my first time purchasing a recertified drive so I am more leary than normal.smartctl 7.5 2025-04-30 r5714 [x86_64-linux-6.12.54-Unraid] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-25, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Vendor: WDC Product: WUH721414AL4204 Revision: C400 Compliance: SPC-4 User Capacity: 14,000,519,643,136 bytes [14.0 TB] Logical block size: 4096 bytes LU is fully provisioned Rotation Rate: 7200 rpm Form Factor: 3.5 inches Logical Unit id: 0x5000cca25846b994 Serial number: 9JH7WT8T Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS (SPL-4) Local Time is: Wed Jan 14 11:23:27 2026 CST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
