I ran s.m.a.r.t and came up with some weird errors, although the disk is pretty fresh Power_On_Minutes 427h+41m
I'm curious, are these the errors of previous hdd?
Error 1 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 13729 hours (572 days + 1 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle
Error 2 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 23300 hours (970 days + 20 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
Here is the output
# smartctl --all /dev/sda

Does this HDD may fail soon and needs to be replaced?
Best Answer
When you poll for SMART data you're not getting it from some cache, but directly from the drive. It will never show you the results of an old drive. In this case, your drive is failing and it's time to chuck it.
