One of my pools is degraded due to a faulty drive suddenly. I checked with smartctl -x /dev/sdf the S.M.A.R.T. values but need some help. It would be great if somebody can give a short yes/no/why answer to my thoughts and in which state my drive is. I know the SMART values but this output gives me headache. I know, it’s an very old drive (the last one of my first set), so replacing it is okay.

Faulted with 787 read errors > too many errors. Where is the threshold for TrueNAS to set the “too many” flag? And is my RAIDZ2 pool currently safe with another disk as parity (I guess “faulted” means out ot the pool?)
Can TrueNAS repair that or do I need a new disk and resilvering in general?
Anything useful from here on beside general disk information?

Interesting part but need some explanations.
In general: if my VALUE is < TRESH, my disk is dying.
Regarding the pool status with 787 read errors I would assume that ID 1 (Raw_Read_Error_Rate) with 36 is the cause. The classics #5, #196, #197, #198, #200 are all zero.
