WD20EFRX Drive Failing?

[millst]

My scrub ran this morning and I received some errors in my system log. I attempted to correct the pending sectors with dd, but when I ran a long smart test, no errors were reported. I notice various read/write error counts in the smart results. Is my drive dying?

Wrong answer.

Is my drive dying?

It is, probably going to get worse soon. Have a replacement ready.

Ok, thanks. What is the correct response to failed sectors in the pending state? I was following advice in this thread:

Nothing, other than making sure ZFS is handling things properly (scrubs running, etc.) and having replacements on hand. Anything else is a kludge.

+1.

Just RMA the disk if its in warranty.
