Not at all. First, suspiciously high "raw" numbers can't always be taken at face value. Seagate in particular likes to pack more than one number into that variable, frequently the total number of operations in addition to the error count, so you have to trust the normalized values, or perhaps go Googling for info on that raw value for your particular drive model. Second, for the normalized values, higher is better. A failure is indicated by a normalized value that is at or below the threshold. None of the SMART Attributes Data you have posted indicate any serious problem with the drives. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
