March 28, 201115 yr Hi, Just fitted a new WD EARS 2TB drive into my server, On preclear transfer rates drop from 100MB/s to 5MB/s, I did a short smart test and found that although it shows as passed there was 1600 errors showing as far as I can tell it is the same error repeated over and over, Can anyone interpret this result for me to see if its terminal or not, Many thanks in advance Error 1670 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 5 hours (0 days + 5 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle . After command completion occurred, registers were: ER ST SC SN CL CH DH -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 01 51 08 20 63 28 ea Error: AMNF 8 sectors at LBA = 0x0a286320 = 170418976 Commands leading to the command that caused the error were: CR FR SC SN CL CH DH DC Powered_Up_Time Command/Feature_Name -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ---------------- -------------------- c8 00 08 20 63 28 ea 08 03:33:15.013 READ DMA ef 10 02 00 00 00 a0 08 03:33:15.013 SET FEATURES [Reserved for Serial A TA] ec 00 00 00 00 00 a0 08 03:33:15.009 IDENTIFY DEVICE ef 03 42 00 00 00 a0 08 03:33:15.009 SET FEATURES [set transfer mode]
March 28, 201115 yr I can't say much about the actual error as I have not seen that particular one before, but the symptoms you're experiencing certainly point to a failed drive. You shouldn't have 1600 errors during a preclear on a drive with 5 hours on it, and the fact that the transfers end up at 5MB/s indicate that something is clearly wrong. I'd wait to see if someone knows for sure, but it certainly looks like it's defective.
March 28, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the drive was DOA but hoping that as it was the same error repeated it may have been salvageable, Never mind, it will be my 2nd RMA out of 6 drives!
