Re: [hard drive] Concerned about HDD health Here's the first drive. Not sure what's going on with the read speeds starting at 100 MBps and ending at 50. |

kudos:7 | To make things even more confusing, the Western Digital Data LifeGuard Diagnostics tool passes that drive. It shows C5 as Current Pending Sector Count as well (200/200 as Value/Worst, but 0 for Threshold and 0 for "Warranty" column), but says both drives check out OK.
I am going to go ahead and zero both drives and see what the SMART data looks like on the other end.

Finished zeroing the first drive. Here's the details.
Granted the juicier details will come from the health data after the second drive.
Still disappointed with the speed test.

kudos:7 | And now the second drive. Offline uncorrectable increase by 1, but the warning disappeared.
Think it's still good? |

I wonder if having data on the other two drives affected the read test.
