I have a WHS 2011 home server with 9 hard drives in my pool. I had a fright when one of my drives (a 6TB WD Red Pro drive) had some problems and it screwed up my drive pool. Fortunately, upgrading to the latest beta of DrivePool enabled me to salvage my data and remove the drive from the pool.
Now I'm trying to sort out whether this drive needs to be replaced. It is a brand new drive -- I installed it last week. I'm using StableBit Scanner, and the only SMART issue is 2 reallocated sectors. I am running a scan using Scanner now. Is the fact that I have 2 reallocated sectors enough reason to push WD to RMA it, or should I be looking for something beyond that?
