April 23, 20197 yr I'm running a smart test on my parity drive and it seems to be stuck at 90%. I had a warning a few days ago about 8 pending sectors. How long should I let it go for?

April 23, 20197 yr Author lol no, but that's like 20 hours. Why did it fly through 90% but the last 10% takes forever? Guess I will wait till tomorrow

The first steps of the test are the short test, then the surface scan is the last step. Obviously the surface scan is what takes an extended period of time, but it's only 1 logical portion of a series of tests.
