### Seagate Drives Failing

As thoroughly discussed in [#255](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/issues/255), Seagate (Ironwolf & others) drives are almost always marked as failed by Scrutiny.

#### Seek Error Rate & Read Error Rate (#255)

#### Seagate Raw Values are incorrect (#522)
Basically Seagate drives are known to use a custom data format for a number of their SMART attributes. This causes issues with Scrutiny's threshold analysis.

- The workaround is to customize the smartctl command that Scrutiny uses for your drive by [creating a collector.yaml file](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/issues/522#issuecomment-1766727988) and "fixing" each attribute
- The **real "fix"** is to make sure your Seagate drive is correctly supported by smartmontools. See this [PR](https://github.com/smartmontools/smartmontools/pull/247)

Sorry for the bad news, but this is a known issue and there's just not much we can do on the Scrutiny side.
