Hello, on a 6-drive pool of 2-way mirrored Exos X16 drives, I have been running into a SMART failure for several days. I was about to put the drive for RMA but then, unexpectedly, the SMART runs started to pass again (which I was greatly surprised with).

I was curious if I could have some assistance parsing the SMART output and help decide whether to initiate RMA process on this drive as I am now confused. The conventional wisdom tells me that I should replace the drive on a first SMART failure but I have not heard of a drive failing SMART only to pass again.

Here is the drive’s full SMARTctl output - would appreciate thoughts on how to handle this? The drive is under warranty.
