denywinarto Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 A blackout just occured and upon startup stablebit scanner gave me this error One or more disks are expected to fail within 24 hours The detail says there are 6 unstable sectors iirc.. But about 15 min later that error vanished, i couldn't find it again. The same drive showing healthy now.. I checked with hdd sentinel and it says that drive is healthy So is this some kinda false positive cause its the first time i got this. Should i replace the drive?

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That came from the SMART data for the drive. And it's very possible, likely even, that the unstable sectors were because of the blackout and a write that was happening at that point in time. And that the disk was able to correct or remap those sectors. So, not really a false positive, but something that the disk was able to resolve. Though, if you see this happen often, that may indicate an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HTWingNut Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Check the SMART status and see if there's any reallocated sectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
