so what
i had last year a vrand new computer with 4x2 TB server grade
disks as RAID10 and the first dies completly after 5 days
with never come back to read any sector
if a disk on a brand new computer has any single bad
sector the manufacturer has to replace it and yes most
disks are dying at the very first begin or they run
for years
