Imminent Drive Failure?

[blaine07]

 

I have a drive that inadvertently got take down while hot in system as a disk in the array. I powered down, moved some drives around and replaced in array. I put it back in system(it’s NOT in array), formatted it and now getting “reallocated sector count” SMART error starts . Is this because of the drive getting unplugged hot or is it harmonious with imminent drive failure?

 

Thanks!

It's not because being unplugged, but it doesn't look very good, run an extended SMART test.

Any idea approximately how long extended SMART test takes?

Depends on the drive size, it will say the approximate time on the SMART report.

Yes, but you can attach it to the forum, no need for external sites.

 

Extended self-test routine
recommended polling time:      ( 164) minutes.

I ran extended test; thought that was the output of it? Was it not? the .zip above that is?

Test failed:

 

Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Extended offline    Completed: read failure       80%      2782         494847875

 

Disk needs to be replaced.

Well, LOL. Guess I’ll just toss it then. How long do you think I could trust it as a “unassigned device” temporarily or is it literally disaster in the making, NOW?

Depends on the use you intend, but a disk that can't return the written data without errors is usually not of much use.
