Issue with preclear on my new disk


Recommended Posts

Hello this is the continuation of the questions I've asked in preclear topic. Since it's a 6.0 Unraid that I have, it seems to be more efficient to put it there :

Hello Guys,

I bought a new hard drive on friday and installed it on my NAS (unraid 6.0.1). it's a WD 3T (WDC_WD30EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4N0JAPE9L)

So I used preclear script in order to clear it using the web plugin (from  gfjardim). After a long pre read part (starting from 4.4Mb/s, ending à ~75MB/s), my disk went to preclear but a lot more faster (~220 MB/s).

At the end of the process, the system was weird (no possibility to see the exit of the command) so I decided to reboot and redo (withour pre / post read)

And I have this error:

I took a look into /var/log/messages and there's huge amount of this comments:

Any clue of what happened? Do I have to RMA the disk?

 

I tried a new preclear but I stopped at the "start" of the pre read (running et less than 1MB/S...).

Attached smart status (which seems clear...) and the syslog (where we see the errors shown before, but no other ones...).

I tried with another HDD on the same SATA Card (but not port) and It worked smoothly.

 

To be honest, I think that I'll return the HDD to amazon. What do you think?

Normally, the syslog messages you show above indicate a drive that's fine, but lost connection somehow so it's non-responsive.  That's usually the fault of the system not the drive.

 

BUT then I checked the SMART report, and this drive has BOTTOMED OUT on the critical attribute Raw_Read_Error_Rate.  It has improved to normal numbers at the moment, but I don't trust it AT ALL!  Then I checked the syslog to confirm, and it shows serious errors on the drive, including an AMNF (Address Mark Not Found) and numerous others, and yes, you should RMA it ASAP!  I use drives others wouldn't, with all kinds of SMART problems, but I wouldn't use this drive, for anything!
