Is it unusual for new factory sealed drives to have Seek & Read Error Rates with only smart tests done and a wipe? hasn’t been added to a pool and no data yet.
This is a Seagate Ironwolf 12tb.

If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.
The above only provides legacy SMART information - try 'smartctl -x' for more
Yes, for Seagate drives this is normal.
Since this is a new drive, have you run the FARM check? smartctl -l farm /dev/sdi and then verify the power on hours match SMART, LBAs written/read, etc…
Take a look at the link in my signature for Drive Troubleshooting Flow Charts. It has some good info in there about this.
Thanks for the info! I didn’t really know the Farm switch. It looks good to me.
