Is my HDD going bad?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

A little over a year ago I bought 3 supposedly new Seagate Exos X16 12TB drives. I checked their warranty status and all seemed well. In the last weeks all 3 drives have started to exhibit similar bevhavior, namely command timeouts which on some operations eventually hang up the whole system. I tried different bays and even another controller - always the same results.

 

I am posting Disagnostics and smart values for one of them - should I RMA them or could there be another problem? Thanks in advance!

I am confused, you talk about 3 Seagate 12TB drives that would be 1 year old.

Your diagnostics show 3 Seagate drives but 1x 12TB and 2x 14TB. The 12TB seams to be roughly 1yo, but the 14TB seem quite new. The other 12TB drives are WD and a bit under 2yo.

One 12TB Seagate is currently still connected, the other connected drives are fine and are not in quetion here. I had to disconnect 2 Seagate 12 TB because any access would make the system unresponsive after a short time (the drive controller keeps resettting).
