I have 2 Seagate FreeAgent Go 1Tb drives. These are portable drives that get their power through USB. Both these drives are about 1 year old. Every time I login I get a notification that both these drives may be going bad. The reason is too many bad sectors. One drive is formatted as it originally came, i.e NTFS the other was reformatted as Ext4. I have checked both drives using Seagate's tools (in non destructive mode) as well as checking the NTFS one in Windows 7. No problems where reported. The question is should I really believe what SMART is telling me or is it just stupid :-) There are no disk errors reported or any other issues that might indicate the drive is going bad. Any thoughts/comments are appreciated.
