jcreynoldsii Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It appears that one of the drives is indeed bad, however the other one seems to be good however there were a few things at their thresholds. Can anyone interpret these results and enlighten me? Thanks, JayC Link to comment
enetec Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 778 bad sectors already marked on first drive... Over 3K (and increasing...!) on second one!! I would NOT use these drives for my porn collection either... Link to comment
archedraft Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If you look on the SDD screen shot the Reallocated Sector Count is "Failing_Now" so that drive is really toast. SDB has way too many re-allocated sectors for me to feel comfortable using it my array as well. I wouldn't use either of those drives. Link to comment
RobJ Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The second drive is bad, RMA it if possible or toss it. The first drive may be OK, but will have to be monitored closely for the rest of its life, even if further tests are clean. We always recommend another Preclear when issues were found and fixed, and because of the negative history of this drive, I would recommend making it 2 more Preclears. If those are completely clean, then it can be used safely, but probably better to save it for low value data storage. The near-thresh warnings are almost always wrong, only the Reported_Uncorrect in yours is correct. It's a long known problem with the Preclear script. Link to comment
StevenD Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Get rid of those drives! Those Seagate 7200.12 drives are total crap...at least in my experience they are. Link to comment
jcreynoldsii Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks for everyone's feedback, these are just a couple drives I had sitting around. Seems like Seagate drives aren't worth a damn. Link to comment
