I've been getting these mails once daily for the last week - is my USB HDD on the way out? I have not seen any difference from a user point of view.
It is a WD Element 1TB model, can't be more than 2 years old I think. It is also a media server HDD and is on all the time, spinning up and down when needed. The host is Debian 7.2 === This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on: host name: foo DNS domain: bar.net NIS domain: (none) The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon: Device: /dev/sdc [SAT], 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors For details see host's SYSLOG. You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
