Smart Errors on fairly new Seagate 1tb drive

Recommended Posts

One of my new Seagate 1 TB drives shows 8 Smart errors which seem to have occurred at about 90 hours.  I have a suspicion it may have been a case of poor cabling to the drive, but cannot be sure.  Can someone more knowledgeable take a look at the smart report below and comment?

This concerns me a bit, that at an early age there are 84 reallocated sectors.

 

5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct  0x0033  100  100  036    Pre-fail  Always      -      84

7 Seek_Error_Rate        0x000f  066  060  030    Pre-fail  Always      -      4688826

9 Power_On_Hours          0x0032  100  100  000    Old_age  Always      -      727

 

But this shows that there are no more conditions present or impending

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0012  100  100  000    Old_age  Always      -      0

198 Offline_Uncorrectable  0x0010  100  100  000    Old_age  Offline      -      0

 

 

I do not see any short or long tests scheduled.

I would suggest you do at least a short, but preferably a long test.

 

Do this when the machine is idle.

 

smarctl -d ata -t short /dev/sd?

 

where ?= drive letter in question

or a long test

 

smarctl -d ata -t short /dev/sd?

 

 

If you start to see Reallocated_Sector_Ct increasing  and/or you see numbers holding or growing in Current_Pending_Sector, Offline_Uncorrectable

then the drive will begin to show issues.

 

 

It looks as you say, this was a short term condition, looking to be in communication with the drive.
