[kwlug-disc] Bad sectors on two new disks

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

I purchased two new 4TB portable disks (Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable).

When running SMART on them (over USB), I get the following:

(Only lines with non zero value, and Pre-fail):

Disk1
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 081 065 006 Pre-fail Always - 120253616
7 Seek_Error_Rate     0x000f 100 253 045 Pre-fail Always - 757267

Disk2
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 080 065 006 Pre-fail Always - 103744416
7 Seek_Error_Rate     0x000f 065 060 045 Pre-fail Always - 2875420

Are these real problems? There is no reallocation (0).

I guess these disks have to go back under warranty.
