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

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.

Thanks, was inclined to think that too, but was hoping there was a reason not to worry and save replacing it!
