"100% health" shown for a HDD with grown defects

Post by i3v »

I've noticed that Hard Disk Sentinel for LINUX console 0.20b-x64.10851 shows misleading "Health: 100 % (Excellent)" estimate for a HDD that got multiple "grown defects", "reassigned blocks" and "recovered via rewrite in-place" blocks. I'd say those are are clear indicators that something is wrong with the HDD, and I'd expect that Health estimate should be below 100% if there's any of them.

For example,
  1. smartctl was showing "Total new blocks reassigned = 40" and "Elements in grown defect list: 40" at some point (the "t1"). But the HD Sentinel reported 100% health.
  2. The disk was pretty much idle for a long while before that, but at that point I was going to read the whole contents of that disk.
  3. After about one hour (of the intense almost sequential read load) the disk ran into an uncorrectable read sector (the "t2"). Which contributes to the general idea that this disk probably was not perfectly healthy.

Re: "100% health" shown for a HDD with grown defects

Post by hdsentinel »

Thanks for your message and attention.
However, I can confirm that no, there is no problem/bug or similar here, things work correctly as should.

The smartctl output is not really relevant.

As you can see, Hard Disk Sentinel detects and reports the numbers you mentioned, the primary/grown defect list entries appear in the S.M.A.R.T. attributes:

<Attribute Name="Primary defect list count" Threshold="340" Value="340" />
<Attribute Name="Grown defect list count" Threshold="41" Value="41" />

Personally I agree that increasing value of the grown defect list may be interesting and should be used to determine the Health.
This happens - but only when required (by checking the combination of that value with other values).

For example, for these drives, the amount of uncorrected errors are more important when determining the Health %. These (and the relation with the grown defect list) is used primarily to calculate the Health %.

Currently as you can see there are no uncorrected errors detected with the drive (again from the S.M.A.R.T. information detected / reported by Hard Disk Sentinel):

<Attribute Name="Total uncorrected write errors" Threshold="0" Value="0" />
<Attribute Name="Total uncorrected read errors" Threshold="0" Value="0" />
<Attribute Name="Total uncorrected verify errors" Threshold="0" Value="0" />

This is why the Health % is now 100%.

As you may see with your other drive, the Health already decreased (99% Health reported, when 1 uncorrectable error detected with the increasing grown defect list count).

Always checking / examining such/similar situations and adjusting the Health % reported based on the numbers, but _alone_ the relatively low number of the grown defect list count may not indicate problem / failure or low Health.

Thanks for explaining the idea behind the Health arithmetic!
As you may see with your other drive,
The thing is, this is the same HDD (just one hour later).

And the fact that the uncorrectable error happened that soon after I started to actually read something from the disk, contributes to the idea that the disk probably should not have been considered "absolutely healthy".

Moreover, if that would have been the only HDD in some PC (e.g. no RAID-like redundancy), that first "uncorrectable error" might already mean a significant data loss. In my case, zfs marked that disk as FAULTED (upon resilvering that was initiated by another disk failure) and indicated that there were 33 READ errors on it (maybe multiple retries to read the same sector, I'm not sure). This does not mean that the disk is completely dead, of course, but still, this is sort of a major problem with the disk.
The smartctl output is not really relevant.
I just like the fact that it provides the list with all that "Successfully reassigned" and "Recovered via rewrite in-place". Note there are 44 "reassigned" and 39 "Recovered via rewrite in-place". I'm not sure how this aligns with "Elements in grown defect list: 40" in the same report, but it looks like SMART records ignored some of those details.

I can confirm that no, there is no problem/bug or similar here, things work correctly as should.
Well, maybe all this is more a feature request rather than a bug report then... :)

I understand that dropping Health from 100% to 99% after the very first "Recovered via rewrite in-place" or "Successfully reassigned" or anything (probably with an exception for the "Non-medium error count") might be viewed as a false-positive by many users. But personally, I'd say that would make sense to not mark the disk as "perfect" when it does have known issues. And the "99% health" itself may not indicate a problem... :mrgreen:

I do like the Health estimate that HD Sentinel provides, and it would be great if it would be possible to use it as the only indicator that would allow to detect any suspicious disks as early as possible (e.g., ideally, before there would be any actually unreadable sectors). For now, personally, I ended up checking smartctl output to achieve that (for things like mentioned above).

Yes, this seems interesting area, so I'll surely examine the situation and check the possibilities.

Yes I agree. But I also agree you that it should be noted, so (in addition to showing the value in the S.M.A.R.T. attributes) we'd need bigger attention for that. Thanks for the tip and your attention, this will be surely changed, modified.
