All drives come with 'spare' sectors that can be remapped to the usable space if ine or more becomes bad. Your drive has reallocated 35 bad sectors and is most likely out of spares. Regardless the drive is failing and must be replaced. In addition to that the data that was stored on those 35 previously bad sectors is most likely irretrievably lost. I hope that your raid setup has saved you from this data corruption. > Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) > LBA_of_first_error > # 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 10% 9849 > 917923767 ... > #13 Extended offline Completed: read failure 40% 8002 > 675183097 Your disc has been steadily failing for the last ~1800 hours. Buy a replacement and swap it out asap. Adrian -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm.
