I have this and a 500GB HDD 7,200RPM ST500LM21-1KJ152 in LVM RAID1 and after I added a ~15GB QCOW2 image to it it had a SMART Health Status of “24 bad sectors” even though they were “Current Pending Sectors”. As seen below…

Is it likely this HGST drive is gonna bite the dusts and I should be looking at getting another used drive off of E-Bay to replace it (I don’t want to buy a new drive if I can avoids it for eco friendliness reasons)? Or it fair to assume it’s will normally functions generally speaking if this is the only thing it’s complaining about?

I am also doing a extended SMART test on it right now as well. To see if there are updated results on it as well.

    Reallocation count went up from the first screenshot, that thing’s dying.

      Thanks you for the confirmation on that, well as soon as PCLiqulidations hopefully get back to me to the inquiry I sent. I might be able to get one of their refurbs. Hopefully before it actually does dies. But I sent them the email so I can confirm they can indeed do somethign for me and what they charge for shipping.

      ServerMonkey for example was out of their minds for charging $14.95 shipping on a $20 2.5" disk. Since they charge shipping by the flipping LB, not by the actual item’s weight.
