I had bought a WD 1TB Black drive to add to my computer as I'm almost out (operating on about 220MB of free space atm). Within minutes of using the drive, I was getting SMART errors of all kinds and there were tons of reallocated sectors and the such, so I returned to Newegg for a replacement. Sadly, the drives were out of stock so I got a refund instead. I now ordered a 3TB Seagate and decided to run Seatools before trying to put any data onto it to see if it would be another bad drive. 35% through the long test gave me 19 errors which were repairable. Are any errors on a brand new drive indicative of future failure, or is it almost expected since these drives are so massive? I've needed my drive since 2 weeks ago and I really don't want to go longer on almost no hard drive space. Thanks in advance!
The test is still running btw, I don't see any more errors yet either.
