Gidday, mates!
I’m worried, but should i be?
(EDIT: tl;dr → stop worrying, it’s fine …see also the link in the 2nd reply)
My 3 Seagate IronWolf ST2000VN004-2E4164 2TB NAS HDDs all produce an alarming SMART report.

* i added this, wasn't included in the raw report
However, the extended self-test …

- What would be the reason for such a drastically elevated
Seek_Error_Rate
&Raw_Read_Error_Rate
- 130-240 million? The field name,ATTRIBUTE_NAME
, tells me that it’s a hardware issue, maybe firmware? - Am i interpreting this correctly - the HDD itself maintains those
KCRSOP
flags, right - it’s not somethingsmartctl
enriches the report with, right? The drive firmware itself emmits thisprefailure warning
, right? - Since the firmware seems to tell me that the drive will fail soon, I’d love to RMA these. The warranty period ends 2022-05.
