JorgeB Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 is it something to worry about? Yes. Run an extended SMART test on that disk, if it fails replace it. Link to comment
Tom899 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks, I'm running an Extended SMART test now. If it passes, is it a false positive, or could it still be going bad? Link to comment
