Is anyone had any prob with HDD (bad sectors, failure of electronics from HDD board) ?

I ask this because I see my SMART info say on same attributes value much bigger than threshold value.

What is life expectancy for such equipment (our NAS) in a scenario of use 7 day/week, 24 hours /day ?

Please share your experience .

My guess is HDD will fail first, not NAS motherboard.

Hi santa,

This doesn't seem nice. :dry

But be careful all SMART attribute is not a "pre-fail" flag.

For those ones that are upper to the threshold, you must search their exact meaning.

Note : if you have some pre-fail flag in this case, you must backup your data quickly...

Maybe this can help you to check your disk http://kb.acronis.com/taxonomy/term/1644?page=2
