[SOLVED] New HDD with some slow sectors

[nuthasir]

I bought new HDD (ironwolf 2TB) and use erase test in HDDScan. Found quite a bit of slow sectors (<500ms) as shown below.

< 5ms -- 3635606
< 10ms -- 172418
< 20ms -- 6314
< 20ms -- 332
< 150ms -- 653
< 500ms -- 136

Is this normal or should i return the product. Thanks in advance.

That information is useless. Please post a full repport on S.M.A.R.T. values, and it's almost of no value to make a benchmark test on a hdd where windows is installed onto.

Thanks. I really appreciate you help. This is S.M.A.R.T. report.

That's a brand new hdd. Thing about brand new drives is they haven't had enough time to log errors yet, so you may just have to use the drive a while before you have another look into the smart values. It's the 05, BB, C6 and C7 that you should look for (all ok when they're at zero).

Thanks again. I keep my eyes on what you suggest. You could not have been more helpful. I really appreciate it.
