Hello, I have this notification, is it something to worry about? Should I get a new drive?

Thanks,

 

unRAID Disk 1 SMART health [197]: 01-07-2018 07:09 AM

Warning [TOWER] - current pending sector is 1

is it something to worry about?

Yes.

 

Run an extended SMART test on that disk, if it fails replace it.

 

 

Thanks, I'm running an Extended SMART test now. If it passes, is it a false positive, or could it still be going bad?

Yes, sometimes there are false positives, mostly on WD drives.

Thanks, this is a 2TB WD drive. I'm still at 10%, must take a long time?

Yes , it scans the complete disk, about 2 to 3 Hours per TB.

Thanks, I appreciate your help

It just finished an extended SMART test, took about 6 hours (2TB). It passed with no errors. I guess I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks!
