First off, thanks. I switched from DriveBender to DrivePool about a year ago and really like the integration between it and Scanner. I was hoping someone on here could go over the issue I'm having and offer some advice. This morning I got a text message notification that one of my drives had several unstable sectors: I submitted it to BitFlock, ID: C8A93DCB As soon as I got the error, I disabled all my applications that accessed the pool, turned off the DrivePool service, and removed the drive letter from the pool - all to limit the amount of drive activity while I figure this out. I ran CHKDSK in read-only mode, it returned no issues. I then ran it with the /r parameter, which took many many hours, and again didn't find a single issue. The S.M.A.R.T. status remains unchanged. (CHKDSK results included in attached TXT). Obviously I can dump the files from the drive back into the pool and I've started to do this, but 5TB+ is gonna take some time. My understanding of the pending sectors error is that perhaps this will cause those sectors to be read again, and if there is no issue, that number will go down. If not, would zero'ing the drive fix the issue? Should I remove the drive and RMA it? I'd prefer not to do that if at all possible. Please let me know if there is any additional information that I can provide that will help. Thanks! CHKDSK.txt

About a year ago I went into Settings > Notification Settings and disabled the notification for "Notify when a disk is overheating". Yet I've continued to see one popup after another notifying me of an overheating drive. Out of curiousity, I enabled email notifications, and now I'm being spammed with drive overheating messages. I'm currently running 2.5.2.3100 beta.
