Hey all,

About 1.5 years ago, I bought 6x 10TB Ironwolf drives, recently one of them started reporting errors via both smart tests and TrueNAS zfs.

The odd thing is the SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

Here is the full SMART output of the drive:

errors: No known data errors

The harddrive is still under the 3 year warranty for it, would you consider this harddrive failing enough to be covered under warranty, despite the PASS on the overall SMART health test ?

I don't know how Seagate handles warranty for those drives. For my Exos 16 TB drives I have had 3 replacements under warranty so far. I honestly don't remember what exactly had been reported as error from SMART and/or ZFS. So I just triggered the RMA process and sent the drive in. Replacement came after 2 business days without any question.

Irrespective of the warranty situation, I would recommend to get a new drive asap and replace the faulty one with it. A spare drive is always a good idea and this way you get peace of mind.

It didn't pass the last extended SMART tests, and has quite high numbers of reallocated and pending sectors—any non-zero value here should be a clear-cut case for return. Definitely replace and RMA.

Thanks guys,

I've ordered a new drive to replace it, should be available tomorrow to pick up so I will swap it out then and send the faulty drive back to be replaced which will become a spare.

The pool scrub finished and it faulted the hdd, too many errors.

Looking at smart report now, there are significant errors being reported:

Selective self-test flags (0x0):
After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

I was reading that these same errors can also be caused by fault power or data cables as well, but then if that was the case, I would most likely be having an issue with more than one drive as its in a hot swap case that uses one cable for 4 drives..

Still I guess the errors will show their ugly head when I swap a new drive in if it is that... we shall see...

Glad I set my vdevs up as zraid2 and I have a full backup :smile:

UDMA_CRC errors could be due to cables. Pending/Uncorrectable/Reallocated Sectors are hardware failures of the disk platters.

Good points here!
