squirrellydw Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment

squirrellydw Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment

It's not a linear progression as you found out. 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. Quote Link to comment
