< 20ms - 332
< 150ms - 653
< 500ms - 136Is this normal or should i return the product. Thanks in advance.
Answer:That’s a brand new hdd. Thing about brand new drives is they haven’t had enough time to log errors yet, so you may just have to use the drive a while before you have another look into the smart values. It’s the 05, BB, C6 and C7 that you should look for (all ok when they’re at zero).
