Would You Replace This Drive


Recommended Posts

Just upgraded to unRAID 6.3.2 and it is flagging a drive because of Reported Uncorrect Errors from SMART. It's a bit confusing because there are no other problems with sectors.I have read a bunch of the 187 error but don't really understand what it is telling me. The number appears to be very high - 1287.

 

Here is the smart report on the drive... would you replace it?

I'd ask the question how recently did these 1237 reported incorrect show up. If they've been there a long time, and not gotten worse, and parity checks are working fine, I'd not be overly concerned with that. If these were 0 a month ago, and over the course of the last month they went from 0 to 1237, I'd say that is bad and the drive should be replaced.

 

But another thing catches my eye. The drive is over 42000 power on hours. That is  pushing 5 years. I'd say this is not a disk with a long life in front of it. And these Samsung's don't have a great reputation here anyway.

 

I'd say between the two, unless you know that the 1237 have been around since birth, I'd be looking to replace it sooner than later.
