Reallocated Sectors Count - Time for a new HDD?

[Aquinus]

What really worries me with hard drives is the Nonrecoverable Read Errors per Bits Read, Max of 1 per 10^14; that is just 12.5 TB

Most errors are correctable and if you're really worried about it because it's a mission critical situation, then run a RAID.

If it's a work machine and you can't tolerate downtime, then you should be running a RAID array because even a single drive failure, with warnings or not, is going to result in downtime.

Send email at Google data-center and ask from their top engineer to offer to you answers, I am just a electrician playing with bulbs.

It's easy. Run a RAID and maintain a backup. It isn't rocket science.

I bet that this recommendation was not aiming my self, but I will use it as opportunity to prove that neither a RAID controller has any issue with my WD Raptors.

I think this is more a question for hard drive manufacturers.

Stick to specifics of the OP. If the issue is resolved, or answered sufficiently, we can close the thread?

I guess we agree to disagree?

Some feel new reallocated sectors are a warning, others that it might be worth the risk if they are not growing (changing) too quickly.

There is overload of answers, problem solved, close the thread.
