Joeschmuck, thank you for replying.
The output of the smartctl -a /dev/ada2 is displayed below. This smartctl output was run after I got the 197, 198 errors and had run both the SMART long and short tests. The SMART tests were run on both my FreeNAS system via the smartctl command and via the bootable SeaTools SMART tests. The output of the SeaTools SMART tests (both long and short) just said "PASSED". No other information was given.
If you need it, I also have the output of the smartctl tests which include the original SMART errors (197,198 etc).
I think what the smartctl output is telling me is that errors were found, but have been corrected. Not sure if this means the drive is failing or not. I have contacted Seagate but they appear reluctant to RMA the drive. The drive is only a little under 3 months in use.
I know the FreeNAS community appear to recommend the WD Red drives, but after WD sneaking SMR drives out to the unsuspecting public, I decided to go with the SeaGate IronWolf drives which I knew were CMR.
So please let me know if I should be worried about this drive. In the meantime, I think I'll do some more reading on what SMART really does and how it works.
Thanks for you help.
