I suspect Greg and Carlos are both right. It appears wrapping produces various big values that are of little use unless one knows they roll over and only uses them for comparing in a series such as I did.
rolling values... I never thought of that.
Can you RMA the drive?
The paperwork on its RMA is already complete, but it probably should be canceled.
Yes.
Rolling values would explain LOW readings, not necessarily high ones. Also different drive manufacturers use different units and you really have to check the specifics any time you read these. Not all of those numbers are significant as Carlos mentioned up-thread. I always check power on hours and power up count on new drives since that time Best Buy tried to slip me a referb/return. Once a drive starts dipping into its reserved space, I move off of it, and if its RMA-able I run a full surface write test before I send it back. If i can't wipe it, and the drive is in-expensive, I will forego the RMA, and offer it a sledge hammer instead. - -- _____________________________________ - ---This space for rent--- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlWB4HEACgkQv7M3G5+2DLKHgQCcDYeBp1ekRumEoX8RudeaXlDF B9MAn0H7O5asaa6QLAj6eWoj0X2uQuwy =YaK5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
