Hello there,
A new green WD20EZRX with only 275h of power on hours suddenly shows s.m.a.r.t. logs with some alarming entries I’ve never seen before. I just wonder why the drive decided to abort activities during boot of a linux system, although no other s.m.a.r.t. parameters look disturbing.
Could some experienced expert please comment? Many thanks!
