IG82 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Wondering what the consensus is here, I have 2 end-to-end errors showing on an out of warranty Seagate 4TB NAS drive. They occurred while I was copying data off to another disk, so I could convert from reiserfs to xfs. No errors were reported within the MC session during the copy The rest of the data (another 1.5TB) copied with no further errors to the drive An extended SMART test completed with no further errors I converted to xfs and ran a parity check with no further errors Just wondering if people would straight off replace the disk, or monitor it for further errors? Thanks Ian Link to comment
Squid Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 A single end to end error on Seagate drives constitutes a failure of the drive. Period. It means that between the read head, the controller, the cache, and the data cable a crc error occurred. The drive cannot be trusted at all. Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk Link to comment
IG82 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks, was inclined to think that too, but was hoping there was a reason not to worry and save replacing it! Link to comment
