new HDD with error in SMART

<< < (3/3)

sapsa:
0. i checked SMART
1. i scanned the hdd with mhdd
2. i filled up hdd with data
3. i formated it with windows format tool
4. i filled up hdd with data (new one - other than before)
5. i formated it using ERASE function in mhdd
6. i compare new SMART with old SMART, no diffrence in ERROR atributes
7. i'm assuming that HDD is safe to store data ?

Can someone confirm that ?:) (just to be safe ;P)

Pentium100:
It should be. That one write error probably was some random event.

x5ga:
I'd say it should be pretty safe, if you're going to use it only for storage and not for intensive work, especially not intensive writing (reading should be OK).

That's my guess also.

sapsa:
I will fill it up to 3/4 of space with stuffs, and the 1/4 will be for torrent use.
My current torrent disk got 1 Error Write Rate too, but he got 1 from g-sense error rate so i see what made that "1" in Error Write.

So I'm safe. And if hdd will fail (but it wont) i will have warranty (for 3 years) so making it torrent disk would give benefits in making the "real" test for it.

But in the end it should be all right like the 3 hdd's ;), btw I just updated firmware in TV, and not shuttering in 1080p movies via usb ;)

Any one know is there a way to update firmware in samsung hdds ? because the newest one got older fw than the both older hdds (same model)
