/dev/da1 [SAT], 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors, Does this mean the disk is on its last legs?

Howdy folks. Ive got some good news. Ive checked the serial Number & Seagate Parts Number on there website turns out the disk is still in warranty.

Convenient indeed. See if you can do an advance RMA.

 

[VioletDragon]

I will see what i can do. I can always put the replacement disk in my automative offline backup server which isnt on 24/7 its only on when its doing ZFS replications. at night. I will RMA the disk once ive ordered the proper NAS disk.

Howdy folks

Ive ran a test on the new disk. The tank is currently resilvering. I am going to remove the old disk and Zero it out run Seagate tools see what happens.

 

[VioletDragon]

Just a quick update. I RMA'd the old disk even tho i bought a brand new one. Seagate themselves sent me a new disk which ill put in my Automated Backup Server but will run a Long Smart Test on the New disk i had from Seagate. Ive noticed that it says Recertified Product so im guessing this is a refurbed disk.

Anyways would like to thank all of you for your help. Really appreciate it :).

Yep, the blue line around the sticker is also a dead giveaway.

I guess so. As long as it works okay then it'll be fine. You can buy these disks super cheap online from what ive found.

Refurbished disks should be thoroughly tested, in my experience there's a t least a 50/50 chance it will fail in the first couple months of use.

 

[VioletDragon]

Oh thats not good. My Automated Backup Server has a RAIDZ1 anyway so. But will see how it goes.

Refurbished disks should be thoroughly tested

Of course, all disks should be thoroughly tested, so...

Will run a long Smart Test overnight tonight and see what the outcome is.

 

[danb35]

Follow that by a full run of badblocks, and you'll have a good start at testing it.

Yes, I just meant you should be "thoroughlier" with refurbished disks. [emoji3]

I double or triple the testing I would do if the disk was new.
