Hi,
I have a SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3400620AS drive that seems
to work fine, but smartctl shows me a large number of errors
accumulating on Raw_Read_Error_Rate, Seek_Error_Rate and
Hardware_ECC_Recovered. These number count up steadily so they don't
seem to be some benign attribute that's being misread.
I'm told from reliable sources that any nonzero Raw_Read_Error_Rate is
a sign of pre-failure so normally I'd be inclined to RMA the drive.
In fact that's what I did with the first two that did this.
That's right, this is the third drive that's shown this exact same behaviour.
Should I be worried or is there something peculiar about this type of drive?
That's normal for Seagate drives. Every one I've ever owned has shown
such numbers (and none of them have failed). Reallocated_Sector_Ct is
the value that should have you worry if it starts increasing.
