[QUESTION] getting bad block alerts after running bad block scan

Post by dimiav »

Hello,

I have Asustor NIMBUSTOR 4 (AS5304T)
Raid 5

my weekly schedule found bad blocks on the 3rd HDD.
is this serious? I should get a new HDD as quick as possible or this is a minor bad block\sector issue?

I do have another backup location for important files so I'm less concerned though I definitely don't want to start restoring and recreating everything.

If I were you, I'll wait for volume being in degrade mode (because your volume is in RAID-5 protection and you backup important files externally regularly).
