preclear result advice

[bwperez]

Just purchased a new WD REd 4TB drive and ran it through 2 preclears.  Does the drive look bad?  Seems like a lot of blocks pending reallocation

 

== WDCWD40EFRX-68WT0N0  WD-WCC4E3AN2XYU

== Disk /dev/sdb has been successfully precleared

== with a starting sector of 1

I would RMA it or return it.

I think it has to fail WDs tool first before they allow an RMA.  Return if you can. 

 

Once, I accidentally rapped a drive on the table while it was plugged in, and it definitely did not help its health.  In fact, WDs tool couldnt even see it.  Moral of the story is, I need to be more careful.
