Attribute #1, "RAW READ ERROR RATE", or whatever it's called, is completely useless and cryptic. It means different things on different drives, and having an obscene number in it for a Seagate is not indicative of any problem. Just ignore attribute #1 on all drives.

Same thing with that #7, "Seek Error Rate", which is notoriously bullshit on Seagates.

Moral of the story: Don't buy Seagates.

Agree to disagree on this one. These attributes are not bullshit at all. They actually give you useful information, like the number of seek errors compared to the total number of seeks. Can be very useful. If you don't understand the raw value, then just pay attention to the normalized value, which is how SMART was originally designed anyway.

It's actually one thing I don't like about WD, is that they don't give you detailed information such as how many error seeks there's been compared to how many total seeks. I can understand why WD doesn't show this though, because then they don't have to deal with confused people seeing non-zero raw values in a field labeled with "error", and wanting to RMA a drive simply because it has >0 total seeks.
