Hi,
I have two Samsung HD204UI HDD's. Both of these show an increasing number of write errors via SMART (C8 - Write Error Rate) (as you can see below).
On one drive the raw data is 29 and the other is over 50. The current/worst values on both of the drives are still at the original 100. There are no other problems reported, like Raw Read Error Rate, Reallocated Sector Count, etc; only B5 - Program Fail Count which I hear are false positives caused by Windows.
These drives have had over 1.5 TB written to them so far.
Is this normal? Should I only start to worry when the current/worst values start to drop?
Does anyone know how the current value of attribute C8 is calculated? Is it perhaps relative to attribute 09 - Power On Hours Count?
I have updated the firmware on both drives as well. I have refrained from checking the SMART data while copying data to the drive.
Cheers
