I have both StableBit Scanner and Drivepool. Years ago I ran the scanner and it found an error and removed the drive and files. I didn't lose anything but it scared me because I didn't want to lose any data. Today I opened StableBit Scanner and got a notice of a S.M.A.R.T. Warning for one of my drives in the status row. I click on the disk and it says The on-disk S.M.A.R.T. check is not predicting imminent disk failure. However, somewell known S.M.A.R.T. attributes that are indicators of mechanical problems are showing signs that the drive could be failing. Under current prnding sector count it says there are 2 unstable sectors on the hard disk.
What I'm scared of is that if I run scanner it will remove my drive from the drive pool and try and move whatever data is on there to my other drives. The problem is my other drives currently don't have enough space I think. Is there a way to run scanner and not have it remove my data if it finds a problem? Does that warning mean I need to get a new drive?
