Paul_Ber Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 New DIsk seems to have the same SMART attributes as the old failing drive. Or do i need to a SMART self test? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Huh? The picture you posted shows a drive that has been powered on 4 times, with 58 hours on the clock. No errors shown in the piece you posted. Quote Link to comment
Paul_Ber Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Look at the "Type" column, those are the same values as the previous disk. Quote Link to comment

So the TYPE column is what the condition would be if the value of the different things was high enough? Quote Link to comment

Frank1940 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) For a introduction to S.M.A.R.T, you can start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. As you read, you will find out that the system is not really that great of a predictor. But it can indicate if a disk is starting to show some indication that it might be getting ready to fail. Usually when a disk has failed catastrophically, you can't get a SMART report from it. Remember that the SMART is controlled by the disk manufacturers. They don't want to provide any information in such a fashion that would prompt a consumer to RMA a disk that might continue to function for months to years before it catastrophically fails. Years of Unraid user experience has shown that certain parameters are really useful to determining disk health and those should be monitored. You can find those attributes by going to Settings >>> Disk Settings >>> Global SMART Settings Edited July 18, 2019 by Frank1940 1 Quote Link to comment
