Week after week, the number of bad sectors increases. I now have more than 4000 bad sectors on a 6 TB hard drive, less than 3 months old. Is a replacement covered by the warranty?

Answer

Sure ^^ I have 2 plates in similar condition... not exactly 4000 but from 200+ it becomes critical anyway!

sounds like a high failure rate, but with 30 hard drives in operation it can happen ;-))

You have a 5-year warranty with WD Pro and every type of sector error or functional fault is recorded in the SMART. The manufacturer can track everything and everything that is recorded in the SMART diagnosis is covered by the warranty ^^
