Okay so for retail drives of Toshiba from newegg I have had great success with the first 14 drive with 0 signs of any issues but this batch I have gotten bad sectors on brand new retail drives. (retail box..not OEM and in very good packaging from newegg)
Should I use them or try RMA? Can you RMA with only bad sectors?
This is finally going into my SnapRAID lawls...i know i am slow on getting this done.
Damaged sector. One of my HGST has a damaged sector after test finished......so what does that mean and what should I do? Either that same HGST or a different one while the test was going had 3 but at the end of the test it has 0 or 1 damaged sector. So the second pass it droped to 1 or 0.
Drives damaged sectors
HGST 0
HGST 0
HGST 0 (might have been 3)
HGST 1 (might have been 3)
this is what i mean. one has 1 damaged sector but as the test was going drive 3 or 4 had 3 damaged sectors but after test finished only 1 drive has 1 damaged sector with 100% health. I am thinking after second pass the damage sector vanished. Normal?
Drives with bad sectors.
