Hello: My Network Area Storage (NAS) device - a Netgear Duo - that I use solely for the family video collection has been emailing me recently. A typical email reads like so:
<email> Reallocated sector count has increased in the last day. Disk 2: Previous count: 54 Current count: 58 Growing SMART errors indicate a disk that may fail soon. If the errors continue to increase, you should be prepared to replace the disk. </email> The pattern has been like so: Jan 16: 17 Jan 17: 34 Jan 18: 54 Jan 21: 58 I have now copied all the videos to another drive. The NAS has been powered off, and instructed to look for errors on the next restart. I feel like I can run this disk until its death. Should I expect its demise soon?
