smart Status on a drive

Featured Replies

This Drive was pulled from my old RAID5, of the 4 drives in the array one had 120 reaccolated sectors (precleared one pass with no more) and this one has 6 ATA errors:

 

What's the thought on these errors?  Is this a drive issue or an interface issue in the old array?

This Drive was pulled from my old RAID5, of the 4 drives in the array one had 120 reaccolated sectors (precleared one pass with no more) and this one has 6 ATA errors:

 

What's the thought on these errors?  Is this a drive issue or an interface issue in the old array?

No way to tell really.  You have 4 re-allocated sectors on that drive.  It is one of the few smart attributes that are usable by us humans.

 

The other errors will be reported to the OS, and it will re-try to get to the data under Linux.  Those will show as errors and resets in the syslog.  If  you did not see them during the preclear process, odds are you are ok with that drive.

 

Keep an eye on the re-allocated sectors though,  if they continue to increment upward over time you'll want to RMA the drives.  Most large drives have a thousand or more spare sectors so 120 is not a killer number.  I'd perform another pre-clear on it if they were detected during the pre-clearing process.  (not present in the pre-clear SMART report, but present in the post-clear SMART report)

I would run a long SMART test, and see if that reveals any issues.

Drive temp is pretty high at 44C.  Recommend you add cooling before doing too much with the drive.

 

As as been said, a few (even a few hundred) reallocated sectors in not necessarily a problem.  The problem is that once you have even one or two of them, there is a tendency for the count to grow and grow with use and especially with parity checks.  This is a very clear sign that the drive is self-destructing and not to be trusted with data.

 

The errors in the log are usually signs of some type of cabling problem.  It is not unusual to get a flurry of them early in the life of a drive as the owner is first setting it up and a cable is not securely connected.  Your errors look different than I've seen before, and are spread out over time - one at 126 "power on" days, two at 254 days, and two at 418 days.  And the 2 most recent errors happened recently (about 70 "power on hours" ago).  I'd still recommend replacing the SATA cable with a known good one before doing more testing with the drive.  If you continue to get these log errors then I'd start to get concerned.
