Description (last modified by )
Three months ago we've bought new WD2500AVVS drives. Today I've set up two of them in RAID1 and installed Arch Linux on new array. When I checked SMART status of these drives via smartctl I've noticed non-zero values in some fields which do must be zero for new drives (StartStopCount, LoadCycleCount etc, see attachment)

NB that normalized values in attributes table for strange attrs sometimes exceed 100

Are these possibly refurbished drives?
Same as in your ticket #849: Essentially smartctl prints what the drive firmware returns. If bogus info is returned, there is nothing we could do.
NB that normalized values in attributes table for strange attrs sometimes exceed 100
Max normalized values > 100 (often 200) are returned by many drives and do not indicate disk problems.

This drive model was introduced ~2009 and did no longer appear in 2013+ releases of WD AV-GP datasheets.

Any manufacturing date printed on the drives?

Possibly very old drives sold as new or a firmware problem.
Missing feedback from reporter - closing ticket.
