smartctl results - should I be concerned?
Dear all,
I have just received a Hetzner server from their auction site with 2x 3TB drives. I ran smartmontools and got the following results:

Should I be concerned about the high values for "Raw_Read_Error_Rate", "Seek_Error_Rate" and "Hardware_ECC_Recovered", or are those values within reasonable limits?
Thank you very much for your hints!
Kind regards

Don't be concerned. These values only have meaning to the manufacturer of the HDD, smartctl doesn't know how to decode them in a meaningful form.
The only concern should be that the airflow temperature is a little high at 42C, but it is still OK.
Well congratulations [or maybe not] on seeing your first ever Seagate SMART.
And yes it's not a cause for concern, all their drives behave like that, just a small manufacturer-specific quirk (or it can be argued that all other manufacturers lie by showing all zeroes in those values).
Ah! Thanks to both of you! So this is a Seagate specific problem? That would explain why I have never seen values like this on other servers - "my" HDDs have always been from other brands...
Specific yes, but it's not a problem.
Even better! ;-)
