SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 HD502HJ S.M.A.R.T Errors!

by xpguru31 Oct 29, 2010 6:55AM PDT

This is my 1 week old SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB (HD502HJ) and already I can see some S.M.A.R.T Errors!!

Please see photo below and see for yourself! My other 2week old SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB has no errors like this one! weird!

Anyone with these drives got same errors like me?

The mechanical shock attribute is already @ 10 and i am absolutely sure that i never knocked or bumped my drive! (i take very good care while handling drives)

also the mechanical shock attribute 10 reading explains the write error of 1
