I have a WD50EFRX which overheated according to SMART data (95 degrees celsius) and damaged some blocks (raw value of Raw Read Error Rate
~ 22000). There're no other values besides the Raw Read Error Rate
which indicate a failure and there's no indication that the overheating will happen again.
If I now format the disk and SMART knows all bad sectors and doesn't use them any more, could I use the device in a newly created ZFS pool with the overheated disk backed up by a working disk in a simple mirror or something more secure regarding disk failure?
I would use ZFS 0.6.3 on Linux 3.16.
3Can you: sure, if it still works. Should you?, NO The drive is reporting a very high read error rate that isn't good. – Ramhound – 2014-11-14T17:41:18.880
