Help needed...I bought 2 Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB from Amazon. I pre-cleared the first HDD and I ran into issues with Current & Pending Sectors:

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0012   001   001   000    Old_age   Always       -       65272
198 Offline_Uncorrectable   0x0010   001   001   000    Old_age   Offline      -       65272

Post can be found here . I was advised to get a replacement from Amazon, so that request has been sent off and the new one is on its way back.

 

I have just started pre-clearing the second disk and I now have another problem with the second Seagate.

 

I logged on and was bombarded with a number of notifications around Pending Sectors, i then waited for another 15-20 mins to see what happens. Its currently 92% the way through stage 2 of the preclear. My SMART report looks like this (notice the high reallocation sector count):

I take it this disk is a dud as well?! Time to buy a different HDD as this is obviously affecting the whole batch?

Yep

Thanks, @johnnie.black time to cancel my order with Amazon for the replacement Seagates and get something else!

 

Is it even worth continuing with the pre-clear? I guess not

I wouldn't

It's off again! Just as I go to cancel more notifications start firing:

197 Current_Pending_Sector  0x0012   100   091   000    Old_age   Always       -       16
198 Offline_Uncorrectable   0x0010   100   091   000    Old_age   Offline      -       16

Thanks for all your help.
