Generally I go by this rule

If it says it's fine, be careful, as SMART can miss things

If it says something is wrong, act immediately.

    I've noticed all my seagate drives have millions or errors, even the new ones, almost immediately after buying them. Western Digitals had zero for that same SMART category. I thought it was the fact that they tried to shingle the magnetic particles or something, leading to a lot of recoverable errors by design. Should I be sending all my seagate drives back for warranty?
