One year ago, I’ve switched my faulty Seagate 2To Barracouda Green to a new HDD IronWolf 3To ST3000VN007 which in turn have errors and warnings detected by my QNAP 233 : read/write unrecoverable errors plus SMART warnings (197 Current_Pending_Sector, 198 Incorrectable_Sector_Count)
The other HDD in my RAID1 configuration is a Seagate IronWolf 2TB ST2000VN004.
The faulty HDD has been refunded.
No luck or dubious drive ? I’ve read that some sold Seagate HDD had an invalid serial number.
Did some of you encounter such a problem with Seagate drive ?
I point out that I bought IronWolf ST3000VN007 from some vendor at a “good” price.
The manipulated drives in recent years were larger ST Exos drives. But those were much larger than the models you report of as they came from Chia coin farms
Finally I’m not sure that my Seagate drive is fully out of service.
Summary of disk health writes: “ERROR, some unrecoverable read/write errors”
while in IronWolf Health Management, disk is declared “in good health”.
Result of the rapid test is “Read impossible”.
Result of full test is " Read impossible", “Fatal or unknowm error”
In informations SMART, there are two warnings (197_Current_Pending_Sector, 198_Incorrectable_Sector_Count)
Capacity of my suspicious disk being 3TB for a 2TB RAID1, can we said that NAS will be able to find good sectors ?
Sorry Not sure what you are trying to say
That drive has errors and spits out “read not possible” upon test, you need to swap the drive, it’s busted.
That’s it.
