HDD SMART PASSED but...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Complete beginner here. Please excuse me for any "dumb" questions.

 

I am trying (and wanting) to set up UNRAID for my home storage.

I have a 2Tb HDD whose extended SMART result is attached.

Basically, SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED, but there are errors.

 

My question is: Can I go ahead and use this HDD?

 

Thank You.

It shouldn't be used, overall SMART test is mostly useless and it will only fail if there's a FAILING NOW attribute, of much more value is the extended SMART test, and it failed that one:

 

Num  Test_Description    Status                  Remaining  LifeTime(hours)  LBA_of_first_error
# 1  Extended offline    Completed: read failure       90%     12773         440020808
