Thanks for reading.
I have a pair of 150GB WD Velociraptors that have failed SMART status.
The only fail they have is the Raw Read Error Rate, which is as follows.
.........Status:....Value:....Worst:....Threshold:....Raw Value:....Predicted TEC Date:
Drive 1: FAIL.......44........42........51............1485216.......N/A
Drive 2: FAIL.......24.......19.........51............1883052.......N/A
I'm not very familiar with SMART. I assume this is a bad thing, and intend to replace the drives, but I do see a few people in forums saying the Raw Read Error Rate is BS and should be basically ignored. Can anyone who is more familiar with SMART please give me a more informed opinion?
Also, will the fact that they're mirrored make any difference? They don't have the same values, so I assume each is failing in it's own way, but will their mirrored status affect their SMART values in any way?
Thanks!
