February 10, 20188 yr I have 2 disks with smart status reports: - disk 1 says: current pending sector 196 click for context menu - disk 4 says current pending sector 88, offline uncorrectable 8 click for context menu what does it mean?
February 10, 20188 yr Community Expert It means you might have two failing disks, run an extended SMART test on both.
February 10, 20188 yr Author disc 1 smart extended self report: completed without error disc 4 errors occured see log pls what does it mean? why did it gave with disc 1 in first time error too? WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WCAZA2312119-20180210-1812.txt
February 10, 20188 yr Disk 4's report shows that it failed the test with a read error. You need to replace it. Disk 1 passed the test and might be reliable enough to allow you to rebuild disk 4, assuming you have single parity. Disk 4's (sorry, I meant disk 1's) SMART report would give some indication of its health. If you have dual parity then you can rebuild disk4 without needing disk1 to be readable. In fact, with dual parity I would simply replace both disks 1 and 4. Edited February 10, 20188 yr by John_M I meant disk 1's SMART report
February 10, 20188 yr Author i did qdd disk 4 smart report what does it say? i dont notice anything with read problems

February 10, 20188 yr Author single parity im not sure to replace , as i said i dont notic any read problems it has 90% live left, is that correct?

If you have someone you are not fond of and wish to cause them grief you could give it to them. Using it will cause data loss, sooner rather than later. Take it apart and play with the strong magnets, they can be quite fun (and painful if not careful)

February 10, 20188 yr Just now, skank said: use it as cache lol As long as you don't mind losing data that's on it, sure.

February 10, 20188 yr Community Expert 10 minutes ago, skank said: or wait till it completely crashes? No. Any disk with problems puts data at risk since all bits on all other disks must be reliable in order to rebuild a disk. Parity alone cannot reconstruct data without all other disks. You really need to be working toward replacing both disks sooner rather than later. Disk 1 already makes rebuild of disk4 uncertain, and vice versa.
