I've just bought a new 250GB seagate barracuda drive to replace my 2 WD caviar drives I had in RAID 0 which failed. The drive seems great, and the performance seems to be much better than my old setup. However, when I look at the SMART data in speedfan, theres two attributes that are worrying me:
The hardware ECC recovered and seek error rate attributes seem to be very high, and also seem to increase every time I refresh the statistics. The seek error rate of my WD drives were 0, which is making me worry that there's some fault with this disk. Is it normal for drives to regularly have errors like these?[/img]
