SCT supported, but SCT/ERC not. GREAT! Hm and the replacement is also a Seagate. However another of my servers also has Seagates like the one I'm buying and it that ERC is supported. So maybe I should buy one more such drive and also replace sdb? Here are the results of the command on the problem drive: smartctl -x /dev/sda | grep SCT SCT capabilities: (0x3085) SCT Status supported. 0xe0 GPL,SL R/W 1 SCT Command/Status 0xe1 GPL,SL R/W 1 SCT Data Transfer SCT Status Version: 3 SCT Version (vendor specific): 522 (0x020a) SCT Support Level: 1 SCT Data Table command not supported SCT Error Recovery Control command not supported
