March 12Mar 12 I think this is pretty straightforward but wanted to check first. Was running preclear on a brand new 28TB drive and at 97% complete it started throwing out reallocated sector warnings. It got up to 20 sectors over the course of two hours and I ended the preclear. Is there any recommendation where the best practice isn’t to simply return the drive and get a new one?
