You're not even showing the full SMART output. Resize the window to show all attributes and repost.

But if truly 131088 reallocated sectors, the disk is likely dying and if you try to read data off it I wouldn't doubt if you'd start to get errors.

That is like a ten year old hard drive. If there's anything you need off there then dd the disk to an image file or if it's really important look for a data recovery service.

    2^17 is exactly 131072, just exactly 16 (2^4 ) away from 131088, sus

    the 131072 ones would probably go away without actual reallocation on next write, that seems to be an intermittent issue on HGSTs, losing whole tracks randomly (possibly caused by incorrect disconnect, had that happen once. that thing has quite a lot of power-on counts, q-sense error rate is also quite high). Ofc that's 64kB of data lost.

    I'd be more concerned about the other 16 honestly

    If you have a backup, not concerned at all. If not....extremely concerned.

    Concerned? Why start now after all these years without a backup strategy?

    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?

    I would be concerned but tbh, living outside the US sometimes it takes weeks to replace drives for servers after a SMART event. We also have servers out of warranty with SMART failing HD that just refuse to die after a decade.

    100 reallocated sectors is concerning. 100,000? The drive doesn’t even have that many spare sectors to use.

    Pull the drive and get your stuff off immediately, and replace.

    The drive is fucked.

    All the concern. But that drive hasn't been around that long. Like that's warranty level.

    I appreciate the insight everyone. Thanks. Will get it backed up tonight.
