March 29, 20188 yr Hello all, Today I noticed that my parity drive had some errors on the S.M.A.R.T. report (log attached), namely: - Reported uncorrect - Current pending sector - Offline uncorrectable What do they mean? It's a fairly recent drive (~1 year old). TIA ST5000DM000-1FK178_W4J1Y7LG-20180329-1012.txt
March 29, 20188 yr Community Expert It means the disk is likely failing, you can confirm by running an extended SMART test.
March 29, 20188 yr The seek error rate does not look good either, but that can be deceptive. If it passes a SMART test I would also run a preclear on it. There are a lot of power on cycles. I assume this disc was re-purposed from another computer? craigr

March 29, 20188 yr Author Just ran the extended test and still shows errors (log attached). For sure it's failing and there's no turning back, right? Can't be any other hardware like cables or the controller? ST5000DM000-1FK178_W4J1Y7LG-20180329-1143.txt

March 29, 20188 yr That drive is not a good choice for unRAID. It has an annualised workload rate of less than 55 TB/year, which doesn't even cover a monthly parity check. The Seagate IronWolf is a much, much better drive, as is the WD Red.
