If the raw read error values are so high, and the normalized values
for raw read error rate exceeds worst case value, does that mean the
drive dying or near death?
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.
Thank you Robert!
I truly appreciate your help, as I was about to plunk down a few hundred
bucks to get the NS series seage 3TB drives to replace my drives.
Best regards,
JD
