Offline_Uncorrectable = 2, replace drive?

Post by kenZ71 »

In about a week I have had two drives report elevated SMART attributes that triggered a warning message.

I only have the SMART data for the latest drive to start whining - a WD 2.0TB Green.

While I greatly appreciate the warning and conservative judgement it seems a bit much to replace a drive that has only 2 uncorrectable errors, or am I missing something?

The drives are at least a couple years out of warranty so I can't complain but I also hate to replace stuff too early.

FWIW BadBlocks has been running a write test for the past 3 hours without turning up any errors. Assuming badblocks turns up nothing I will most likely let this drive keep going for a while.

So, here is the full SMART report - what is the collective vote replace or keep the drive?

Post by b0ssman »

you also have 8 pending.

and 600k lcc. this is way past the max value that WD specifies for their drives.

also read https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-smart-stats/.
From experience, we have found the following 5 SMART metrics indicate impending disk drive failure:
Nas4Free 11.1.0.4.4517. Supermicro X10SLL-F, 16gb ECC, i3 4130, IBM M1015 with IT firmware. 4x 3tb WD Red, 4x 2TB Samsung F4, both GEOM AES 256 encrypted.
