Hi all,

I have refurbished (RMA'd) Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS that was working ok for a few months.

Last week i noticed that "Reallocated Sectors Count" increased, from 0 to 2. Yesterday I made a backup copying hundreds of GB, and this morning it has 3 relocated sectors.

Can this disk be trusted?

Thanks for help.

if the FW of the drive is SD15- backup and RMA asap. I am pretty sure those drives briked cause of relocation sector count and FW issue. Anyways , get HDD scan of this site. Run a SMART test. Ull see if ur reloc count is in the red or yellow.
