Hi,

 

some days back one of my HD started to give me read errors and when i check the Smart log i found a couple of errors which seems to be related to READ DMA, see attached Smart log.

 

i checked the connection of the HD, changed the SATA cable, port and drive slot im my chassis and did also a preclear of the disk.

After all that i'm still getting the errors so i'm assuming the HD has a failure.

i was wondering, before im replacing it, if someone by looking at the log, could confirm that it's the HD or show me what else i may should check.

 

thanks

Matt
