Got the Infamous Red Dot on Drive

Featured Replies

Checked Unraid during a parity check (those take quite a while I must say, usually 24+ hours for my array), and Disk 3, a Seagate ST3000DM001 3 terabyte drive, got disabled.  I don't know how to read SMART and diagnostics reports, so I left them here, as it said in the Troubleshooting section of the Wiki.  Let me know if I'm missing something or whatnot, or what's up with the drive.

 

Thank goodness for dual parity though, seriously.

One of the few (only?) drives to have a WIKI devoted to the abnormally high failure rate.

 

So, your title of infamous applies to the drive as well as the red dot.

Makes me regret having two, I'll tell you that.  I'll have to keep an eye on the other one.  As far as this one, anybody know?

Cool cool.  Off to Best Buy tomorrow, I guess.

I still have two on them left in my Media server.  They are both now over seven years old (poweron hours) and still going strong.  I have one that is four years old that was pulled and replaced by a 6TB drive.  I have it on the shelf as an emergency cold spare.  Apparently, they do pretty well after the voluminous percentage of 'bad actors' have expired.  I seem to recall that I had five of them are one time. 

 

I also have three Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000  in my Test Bed server that are close to nine years old.    Unraid with its disk spindown feature seems to be pretty easy on HD's...

Yeah, even a 50% failure rate means a very high number of good working drives remain in service. It's just... well... if I had a choice, I'd prefer to not use them.

Little update to this, I just had my other one die right after.  So yeah, I'd avoid that drive like the plague.  Lesson learned.

I am reminded of an old country expression---  If it wasn't for bad luck, I have no luck at all!
