Hello all, I have a drive that has been in my btrfs array for about 6 months now. It was purchased new. Its an IBM-ESXS SAS drive rebranded from an HGST HUH721010AL4200. Here is the following stats, it passed a long smartctl test. But I'm not sure what to make of it.

So if on the off chance someone here is reading this who can also point me in the right direction, let me know where to RMA and IBM standalone drive with no FRU. But is this drive healthy or should I have it replaced? What is the extent of a write_io_err? Are they somewhat common or a sign of a bad drive? A scrub returned no errors. Also what about the correction algorithm invocations? All of my IBM drives seem to have those. Whereas all of my other drives do not. I was curious about that too, if anyone knows.
