I have been running StableBit Scanner for a few days and I noticed one of my hard drive (a WD WD20EARS 2TB) would trigger SMART info warning periodically.
When such warning is triggered, the SMART info dialog would show a red "X" mark for "Reallocated Sector Count" and a yellow "!" for "Reallocated Event Count".
(Please see the attached image for example).
However, if I open CrystalDiskInfo to view the SMART attribute info for the same hard drive, both "Reallocated Sector Count" and "Reallocated Event Count" have raw values of ZERO.
After a few minutes the SMART warning in StableBit Scanner would go away and the SMART info dialog shows only "Read Error Rate" and "Reallocated Sector Count" with green check next to both items.
CrystalDiskInfo has never shown any caution or warning status for my WD20EARS 2TB hard drive.
All attributes related to "reallocated sector" all have raw value of zero so I'm confused why StableBit scanner would periodically show warnings related to "reallocated sector".
Does anyone know if this is a false warning displayed by Stable Scanner?
