Re: Hard drive advice
The disk is starting to fail. It's indicating problems seeking and reading. Normally you would want to replace it at this point before it fails completely.bossa wrote:Hi All

Re: Hard drive advice
Is it a Seagate disk perhaps?
Seagate assigns their own numbers, which don't seem to mean anything, to a number of SMART items. You will see huge numbers even with a brand new disk. Could you perhaps tell the numbers before the SMART items where you are seeing these high error rates?
