Oh my god they're playing LA BASTRANGUE at the DENTIST

I'm so BORED it's not my turn yet
I've got hard drives to TEST

Here we go, smartctl -t long /dev/sda
I wish there was some sort of progress bar so I'd know what's going on
There probably is actually, I'm gonna stop it and find the flag I need to turn on

=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Sending command: "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode".
Drive command "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in off-line mode" successful.
Testing has begun.
Please wait 109 minutes for test to complete.
Test will complete after Sun Dec 27 20:06:19 2020 PST
Use smartctl -X to abort test.

Never mind! It knew I'd be impatient and has started in the background
I guess I only have two hours to wait

# 1 Extended offline Self-test routine in progress 90% 23710 -

yeehaw 10% already

I'm testing one of my backup drives now that I know how to test a drive lol
Luckily no signs of failure so far with -a

Back to my server HDD:
# 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 23710 225724648

that can't be good

Other drives:
* Backup drive with my photos in perfect health
* Unused drive 1 ("Gerty") also in perfect health
* About to test Unused drive 2 ("Hal") now

Hal has some errors unfortuately (Raw_Read_Error_Rate 9, Reallocated_Sector_Ct 1, Current_Pending_Sector 8, Offline_Uncorrectable 8, Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 9)
Gonna run a short test

According to the short test Hal is fine but idk if I can trust the short test
I think I'm going to make a note of the above errors for Hal and Not use it for my server
I have one more to test, the backup drive for my server that's currently plugged in
I think... I think SATA is hot-unpluggable right

Follow

@nonphatic SATA is hotpluggable, but it might be disabled in BIOS
