Hi all, looking for a bit of help regarding what looks like a failing disk.

My Unraid setup as been running around 30 months without fault. Hardware is HP Proliant N40L with 3 data 1 parity. On release 5.0.6.

The last disk was only added this January and is a new 2GB WD Green EZRX. Preclear was OK. This is disk3 and is the one now giving me problems. For a week or so Unraid has been freezing on file transfers, sometimes locking out the GUI. I managed to catch the syslog and noticed the disk3 errors in there. Ran smartctl short test which failed. I re-seated the drive which is in a caddy. Initially this seemed to work however a long test has since failed and more errors are appearing in the log.

I'm not sure whether the disk is faulty ( it's only 3 months old ) or there's a problem with the interface. Can anybody tell from the log/smart report? I wouldn't want to scrap a good disk.

 

Thanks,

Andy

I would probably rebuild to another drive and then run preclear on this one to see if the pending sectors would go away.

Any point in swapping to another sata port? I don't have a spare.

 

 

Pending sectors are definitely drive related.

OK thanks, new drive it is then. Would this drive qualify for RMA with those pending sectors? Or do you need an actual full smart test fail?

 

Run a preclear on the drive and if the pending sectors cannot be cleared then RMA.

Thanks for you help.
