I've had reports via smartmontools of SMART errors on these IBM xSeries 335 w/ Deskstar IDE Drive. When I run MHDD all the sectors are green (150ms) I've never seen this before. Any ideas why?

I was able to run MHDD on a third x335 and it did not have all green sectors. I'll post the logs later today.

A disk has 72 remapped bad blocks and 5 candidates to bad blocks

The disk is dieing

I agree with Doomer,
It looks like your disk is on it's way out. I would backup the drive if it contains any important data and then possible try a LL Format.
If it's soft sector problems this may set things straight, but If it's a physical problem you may want to just toss the drives.

These IBM deskstar drives are prone to head failure (hence the nickname deathstar!) and also prone to "Phantom" bad sectors caused by bad connection between PCB and HDA.

I agree with quasimodo, you should back up your data and toss the drive

Thanks, I agree the drive is bad. It was just strange to see all green blocks and have it happen on the two x335s I was looking at. Didn't know if that was a problem with MHDD or not. But since another x335 had more normal results it probably adds weight to the drive dying.
