It's a r6 so it shouldn't be much of an issue once the disk eventually fails, but does anyone out there know how many reallocated sectors you can have on a drive? This is an older 1TB ST31000524NS > That looks like a Seagate model number. My experience with Seagate drives from that era is that once you start seeing reallocated sectors, it's time to replace the drive. There seems to be something with the firmware that greatly slows down drive detection as the number of reallocated sectors increases, so the next time you power-cycle the drive, it may get marked as failed. -- Mark
