ugh. one of the hard drives in my desktop (used for media and backups) has started making occasional clicking sounds, and copying large files sometimes stalls for a second. A SMART tool reports the overall health as "OK" but shows a few reallocated sectors and some pending sectors.
How do I interpret this?? Is a non-zero reallocated count an immediate replace-now situation? I do have backups of the important stuff, but Id like to understand what the numbers mean.
oh ive been there lol for the future, set up regular monitoring so u see changes as they happen... on Linux, smartd can run scheduled short and long tests and email u when attributes change. Many NAS systems have the same built in. Trend is what matters; a single snapshot tells you little.
exact same thing happened to my moms pc last month
reading this at 2am instead of sleeping, no regrets. +1 same here
same issue here on my seocnd monitor setup... no idea whats going on
