Re: [smartmontools-support]smartctl - strange report ...

[Anglade Pierre-M. <an...@gm...>]

Looks like your drive got strong reading problems. I've read somewhere that=
=20
a huge proportion of drives fails either very early (first month of use or=
=20
so) or late (many years). Early fail may be caused by transportation or=20
fabrication problems. I suppose that you are in one of those case...
I suggest that you contact your drive's manufacturer and ask them if they=
=20
would accept to change it even if it has not already failed.
An other option is to run your drive manufacturer own testing tools...

regards
