March 4, 201511 yr I just ran preclear on a new 3 TB Seagate and I got a PASS, but I'm wondering about some of the SMART data in my log. Should I be worried about several indications of "old age" and "pre-fail" on a new drive? Thanks, -Thelonius16 preclear_syslog_excerpt_03-03-15.txt
March 4, 201511 yr Those "old_age" and "Pre-Fail" under type just describe the attribute -> whether its an indicator of old age or and indicator of failure. The of the attributes which pre_clear is listing as being changed: Mar 3 18:10:09 Server preclear_disk-diff[25812]: Raw_Read_Error_Rate = 119 100 6 ok 228670048 (Misc) Mar 3 18:10:09 Server preclear_disk-diff[25812]: Spin_Retry_Count = 100 100 97 near_thresh 0 (Misc) Mar 3 18:10:09 Server preclear_disk-diff[25812]: End-to-End_Error = 100 100 99 near_thresh 0 (Misc) Mar 3 18:10:09 Server preclear_disk-diff[25812]: High_Fly_Writes = 96 100 0 ok 4 (Misc) Mar 3 18:10:09 Server preclear_disk-diff[25812]: Airflow_Temperature_Cel = 58 70 45 near_thresh 42 (Misc) Mar 3 18:10:09 Server preclear_disk-diff[25812]: Temperature_Celsius = 42 30 0 ok 42 (Misc) End-To-End error on your drive with a threshold of 99 means that a single failure is enough to fail the drive, and that's not happened. High Fly writes did increase, but its still nowhere near the threshold. Raw Read Error Rate - the raw value has changed (but the actual value is vendor specific and meaningless to us) and is not near the threshhold Personally, I wouldn't worry about the drive. The really big things to worry about - reallocated sectors and pending reallocations are still zero.
March 4, 201511 yr Author Thank you! Happy to know I don't have to send it back right after I closed up the case.
