Summary0001287: How to interpret two of the SMART values in the HD report
DescriptionReport is here:

http://www.hddstatus.com/hdrepshowreport.php?ReportCode=3076403&ReportVerification=FD9FE55D

"Seek error rate" for this drive has a raw value of 0x0022073FC45F and HD analysis page shows this as 34 1855 -15290.

I understand how to get to these three numbers (treat each 16bit in the hex as signed int) but what does it mean for a drive to have a seek error rate of "34 1855 -15290"???

Same issue with "write error rate". A value of 0x02021010000 is displayed as "514 257 0". How should I interpret this?

Thanks in advance.

Typo in the second hex value: It is not 0x02021010000, but 0x02020101000.

Unfortunately, a few years ago Seagate told me that she doesn't want to disclose anything about her SMART implementation. Seagate is the only one to return SMART values in a very odd way. The model that I built to analyze her hard disks works pretty fine, but the information you're looking at is basically unknown to anybody.
