Hello:
My Network Area Storage (NAS) device - a Netgear Duo - that I use
solely for the family video collection has been emailing me recently.
A typical email reads like so:
<email>
Reallocated sector count has increased in the last day.
Disk 2:
Previous count: 54
Current count: 58
Growing SMART errors indicate a disk that may fail soon. If the
errors continue to increase, you should be prepared to replace the
disk.
</email>
The pattern has been like so:
Jan 16: 17
Jan 17: 34
Jan 18: 54
Jan 21: 58
I have now copied all the videos to another drive. The NAS has been
powered off, and instructed to look for errors on the next restart.
I feel like I can run this disk until its death. Should I expect its
demise soon?
Doug
