New drive with Reallocated sector count: 820

[cagemaster]

Hi, i recently had an imminent drive failure and decided to swap out the drive. The new drive had a slow time pre-clearing in the beginning and i now can see 820 Reallocated sectors according to SMART. Does this mean that my new drive is defective? Thank you so much!

Disk 1 is on its last legs too

 

I'd RMA the disk with reallocated sectors, especially since it has 820 after only 2 hours

Thank you! I was supposed to replace Disk 1 with the new (2h old) drive. I guess i'm not doing that...

I agree the disk needs to be replaced, but RMA typically gets you a refurbished drive, which means somebody else returned it.

 

If possible, the disk needs to be refunded and replaced with new.
