About a month after buying the D-LINK DNS-323 and 2x 1.5TB Seagate drives one failed with over temp, so had it replaced under warranty and now has been all good for about a year now, the other day I took both drives out and plugged them into my computer to check SMART status using Everest and now they both show errors in Reallocated sector count
ID Attribute Description Threshold Value Worst Data Status
05 Reallocated Sector Count 36 100 100 12 OK:Value is normal
The other drive is not that bad, Data is about 7
So are these drives acutally faulty or failing? should I RMA them? I ran the Seagate diagnosis utility in dos and it reports the drives as ok
I'm ordering 2 x 2TB drives tomorrow and will check the Reallocated sector count on them also
Just another off topic question, my SSD drive which is a month old also shows
ID Attribute Description Threshold Value Worst Data Status
05 Reallocated Sector Count 0 100 100 1 OK: Always passes
