Is the drive under warranty still? If yes, simply replace it. Otherwise as mentinoned above you have to live with this error Nd wait till it turns into a real problem with this drive.

I have a Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard disk in a FreeNAS server. <br />
<br />
FreeNAS is reporting a SMART failure on the disk - 184 end-to-end error<br />
<br />
At first I thought the disk was bad, however, when I take the hard drive and put it into my desktop and run an extended SeaTools test against the disk, it comes up completely clean.<br />
<br />
I figured the problem was the computer, then, so I swapped the motherboard, power supply, SATA cables. (Actually I moved the whole system over to a new mini-itx chassis which I was planning on doing anyways). I kept the same RAM and CPU. Wiped and removed the disk from FreeNAS altogether, and then added it back.<br />
<br />
I'm getting the same 184 end-to-end error shortly after doing this.<br />
<br />
What gives? Is the disk bad, or not?<br />

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
