I have a 250 GB ST250DM000 with the following SMART output. Should I RMA this drive? The first one already failed and had to be RMA'd because it kept spinning up and down, and now it appears that SMART is reading 944 bad sectors? The drive is less than a month old. I think this will be the last time I buy Seagate!
