November 27, 201213 yr I was just wondering if there is anything in the smart report I should be worried about besides whether it passes or fails overall? For instance should I be worried about lines like this? Or can I just not care because the overall SMART health is passed, and its not red balled. ID# ATTRIBUTE NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED FAILED RAW VALUE 1 Raw Read Error Rate 0x000f 117 099 006 Pre-fail Always Never 164696632 7 Seek Error Rate 0x000f 071 060 030 Pre-fail Always Never 13975821 195 Hardware ECC Recovered 0x001a 030 013 000 Old age Always Never 164696632 Thanks!
November 27, 201213 yr These values are manufacturer related and only them can interpret the result. The indicators you should look for are 'sectors pending re-allocation' and 'sectors that have been re-allocated ' and any increase of these two. It is ok to have sectors that have been re-allocated, as long as the amount of re-allocated sectors do not increase over time. That would be an indication of a drive that is on its way out.
