Anyone thats read my other two threads will realise Ive not been having much luck with my Seagate drives. This prompted me to run SeaTools on all my Seagate drives. I now have four drives to RMA. Three with a Seatools code and one bricked, unable to run Seatools.
Ive also installed Acronis Drive Monitor. This tells me all my drives except the 7200.11s Im still running are OK. The three 7200.11s Im still using all pass Seatools but all have Reallocated Sector Count and Spin Retry Count showing as Critical in Drive Monitor.
I contacted Seagate customer support regarding RMA for these drives and was told not until reallocated sector count reached 300. I was free to return the drives if I wished but If they passed Seatools theyd be sent straight back to me.
Is this correct? Just doesnt seem right to me
