mitchm3 8 Report post Posted January 19, 2017 My Synology NAS is claiming a SMART error on one HDD (ID 184 End to End error) I literally had 36 hours before my warranty was to be expired, and I ran seagate tools against it, and no errors were found on their extended test. The drive is a Momentus XT 500GB drive. I had two laying around doing nothing, and I popped them into the extra bays within my NAS just for more capacity for videos and such. The gist of Seagate's warranty policy was that you can only RMA a drive under warranty if the tool provided an error. No error, you would be on the hook for some costs in terms of diagnosis, drive repair or a refurbished drive. What do you guys think, Ignore it? Or "Danger Will Robinson, eject!" Currently I put those two drives in RAID 1 just in case. And it's just holding movies that I can always re-download. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian 155 Report post Posted January 20, 2017 I'd leave it alone and replace when it dies. Not worth the expense of sending it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
