I RMAed the old drive and just received the replacement,but the Reallocation Event Count shows 1024720896.(what's the actual value?)
does this mean they sent me a refurbished one? I thought it would be a brand new..
And is there any other value abnormal?
Thanks.

I would ignore it as per some technical differences in reporting atts. Smart is clean, but the drive can be a refurb too - only technical analysis can tell. What mfg. Date does the label show ?

2009-10.So that's what makes it suspicious,it's been 1 year.
I guess the factory has reset the SMART since all other values seems clean,but this one is huge..

I can tell , but need to physically have the drive at hand. Anyway, if it works, don't worry. It is common to send a refurb in exchange - like it or not.

Yeah,it works right now and I don't hear any noise so I assume it's healthy...
I heard that most replacements are refurbished,but the customer service told me it could be a new one.
Thanks for quick reply.

Didn't Referbs / Recerts come with SMART cleared ? Shitgate that i've RMA all comes back with SMART cleared ( like a pretty new drive ), and btw Seagate only RMA recerts, or you must be some lucky puppy to get a new one or in extreme cases an upgrade. WD use to RMA new drives, and sometimes Samsung, Hitachi i don't know as i did not buy that stuff

Not always. It's a matter of luck...
