xylcro Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 So I recently bought a Dell PowerEdge R510 with 12 drive bays. The controller is a PERC H310 flashed in IT mode. I plan to populate all 12 bays with 6 TB SATA drives. Right now there is 1 (NEW) 6TB drive already in there (parity drive is on its way), but there are already disk errors present. When I do a SMART self test, short or extended, it fails after 10% with error "Errors occurred - Check SMART report". I'm still learning all this and I don't really understand what the report is saying. I've already replaced the H310 with another I bought (also in IT mode), but no dice. Is it really the drive? cerberus-smart-20201004-1456.zip Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Look at the marked items below: For a drive with only 549 hours on it, these are unacceptable number of problems/failures. I would recommend replacement! Most drives spend the majority of their lives with the counts for all three of these items being ZERO!!! A few 5_Reallocated_Sector_Ct (say, < 20 or so) can be acceptable as the drive gets older but rash of them is an indication that the drive is starting to fail.

xylcro Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Wow never saw that on a new drive. Asked the vendor for RMA. Currently in the process of copying everything to another drive. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment
