November 28, 201015 yr There are three sectors pending re-allocation, and 23 reported uncorrectable events. (sectors apparently identified in the initial pre-read phase, but NOT re-allocated in the zeroing, instead they were re-written in place) To see more sectors pending re-allocation after a pre-clear is not a good sign. IT would imply they were detected in the post-read phase. I'd do another pre-clear pass to see it those 3 sectors are re-allocated. If they are also not re-allocated but written in place I'd suspect either the drive or the power supply to the drive. Since this is a new drive, it may stabilize, or not... another pre-clear pass or two will tell.

November 28, 201015 yr I agree. It is still finding un-readable sectors. It has not re-allocated any... It seems to be re-writing them in place. What kind of power supply are you using? Are there splitters involved? Or a drive cage? You might try a different power connector if you think it might be the power supply, but if not, it is likely to be the drive itself. In any case, you now have the evidence needed to RMA the drive.
November 28, 201015 yr Try upgrading the firmware to CC35 http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=213915 CC34 is known to cause problems
November 28, 201015 yr Author I'm adding another drive to my main box, so yes there are splitters involved. I've updated the firmware and replaced the SATA power wires, and will run another test. thanks for the help!
November 29, 201015 yr Author After another run with the above changes, i get the following. no new errors, the relocations were done. Can anyone advise on the current values of 195 and 187? Are they ok for use, or reason to return the drive? thanks, John ------------------------------------------- smartctl version 5.38 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] Copyright © 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: ST31500541AS Serial Number: 9XW034AT Firmware Version: CC35 User Capacity: 1,500,301,910,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Mon Nov 29 08:57:32 2010 MST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

November 29, 201015 yr So far, all the un-readable sectors were re-written to their original locations and not re-allocated. They still count as re-allocation events. It indicates the "writes" were not done properly the first time. I'd still keep an eye on the drive over the next months/years. It is probably OK. Joe L.
