@fribbledom SMART statistics are odd. I think there's a threshold at which it's considered an unhealthy drive, and below that it's healthy, even if it seems very high. Even if it's high enough to be cause for concern.

@Rosemary @fribbledom Also, Seagate uses a proprietary, nonstandard code for bad sector reallocation count, which is not a counter at all but some binary values, nobody knows what does it really mean. Only the result of the official diagnose tool "SeaTools" is considered reliable.
