Hey all.
I have three WD RED 2 TB drives in my server and two of them have completed their first smart tests. I've never looked into Smart tests or used the data in the past so this is kind of new to me. The results are as follows:
Drive | Test Description | Status | Remaining | Lifetime | LBA of first error
SDC | Short Offline | Completed without error | 00% | 19 | -
SDD | Short Offline | Completed without error | 00% | 65 | -
What does Remaining mean and I'm assuming Lifetime refers to the lifetime of the disk. Is this in days or months? For being brand new drives I would hope these number are incorrect regardless of weather the lifetime is in months - and especially if its in days! That's a very short lifespan considering they are from different batches. The third drive will begin its smart test at 1700 local time (I've set them to be tested one hour apart from each other). I'll be waiting to see what it says.
