they have since last time I tested(initially) it only had 38 reported Uncorrectable errors, but this is the first time I ran the long test too – James – 2018-04-14T11:21:10.280

You should not be worried, but you SHOULD BE REPLACING YOUR drive. It is clearly showing early signs of failure.

that sucks, it only has about 600hours of use... guess I shouldnt have bought the seagate.... – James – 2018-04-14T11:47:48.757

Its luck of the draw - I've had much better experience with WD then Seagate. If you want reliability you really need to get an SSD - they are typically 10x more reliable then hard drives (but be aware when they fail they usually do so without warning) – davidgo – 2018-04-14T11:51:23.173

What model drive is it ? – davidgo – 2018-04-14T11:52:34.803

I usually buy WD as well...I got this one because it was the only 2.5" 2TB drive at the time. it's a ST2000LM015-2E8174 – James – 2018-04-14T12:17:01.820
