I'm pretty certain the answer to my question is "NO !" but I wanted to ask it this way...

Is there any tool capable of resetting UDMA CRC Errors back to Zero?

I was cleaning out the server and must have touched a SATA cable, well the next thing you know I have 15 UDMA CRC Errors in the span of a few minutes. I recognized the issue and promptly corrected it. Now I'm just irritated because all my drives had zero error, well until now.

I don't think there is a tool unless there is some factory tool that can reset it. The drives have recently passed the 5 year mark and had a 3 year warranty. They are all still good and I will not replace them until thay actually have failures on them.

My drive: HGST HDN726060ALE614 (6TB, 7200 RPM, SATA)

Thanks

If there were a commonly available tool to do this, the used drive market would be out of control.
Sure I could see that, if you could reset all the other true failure parameters as well. But I'm only looking to reset a bogus parameter that should automatically reset upon power on reset. I'm still not sure why the manufacturers wanted this parameter stored permanently, but that is out of my control.
