I bought some used 2TB hard drives that have been wiped, and upon receiving the drives, I've run a quick test on it with SMART reporting three warnings (the drives have identical warnings):

  • Reallocated sector count raw value: between 17 million an 93 million
  • Current pending sector raw value: 28,147,495 (same value across the drives)
  • Offline Uncorrectable raw value: 28,147,495 (same value across the drives)

A proper business sold the drives with a description on the invoice of "Condition: 100% Health 100% Performance Tested with Hard Disk Sentinel 5.50 PRO".

Are these three errors significant? How can I force the firmware to clear these warnings if they are not legitimate(somehow induced through the wiping process)?

Thanks to all the comments on the main; I tested with SeaTools and all I got was 'Pass' with no details. Tested with CrystalDiskInfo and didn't get any pink/red lines although the crazy raw count was still present. Would have liked to understand the funny numbers more but I think I'm ok with 2 SMART tools returning a thumbs up.
