I have a 4 TB WD Caviar Red (WD40EFRX) that keeps misbehaving. It's not even two years old, but it's already failed at least one self-test
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Short offline Completed: read failure 90% 13930 815329496
and the Current_Pending_Sector value keeps oscillating between 0 and 1. I actually saw Reallocated_Event_Count increase to 1 and then decrease back to 0.
Is behavior like this covered by the warranty, or do I need to wait until it completely fails?
Thanks.
