Default Disk 1 did not pass SMART self-assessment test

Disk 1 did not pass SMART self-assessment test...

"Reallocated sector count has increased in the last day.
Disk 1:
Previous count: 1504
Current count: 2507"

This disk was in a Netgear readynas duo system.

Before I start the proccess of returning it as a faulty item I want to
make sure it is indeed faulty.

I have now taken it out of the nas box.... but besides putting it into
a PC how would I go about testing again.

Is it possible to test it in a USB HD enclosure?

Thanks

Fark, it actually failed it dismally.

Fark. She's dead, Jim. You into necrophilia ?

Yep, thats an utterly obscene level of reallocated sectors.

Yep, but with quite a few of them, you cant get the SMART stats with the drive in
one of those unless its a relatively modern one and you use a paid for SMART ute.

Hddscan.exe is among the free SMART readers.
Bytecc BT-300 is among the cheap usb to ide/sata readers that can read
smart.

Yes, but that doesnt mean it can get the SMART data from the drive in a USB HD enclosure he already has.

Bytecc BT-300 is among the cheap usb to ide/sata readers that can read smart.


You dont know whether he plans to buy a USB HD enclosure just to check the drive before doing a warranty claim.

If the OP is thinking of buying an external enclosure, then I recommend
one that also has an eSATA connector. They don't (or shouldn't!) cost
much more, and if you have an eSATA connection on the host, it is faster
than USB and gives you access to all SATA features - SMART, NCQ, etc.

This is alarming from around 10-30 upwards. This disk is
very near death. It somehow manages to hang on, but very
soon it will run out of replacement sectors.

Very, very, very faulty.

Yes. But entirely unnecessary.
