switchman Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I also just received mine an it is also a DM. I am currently running "badblocks" on it. Will probably run it 3 times and preclear 3 times. Waiting on my second drive which is coming from amazon. For those that do not know how to get the drive out of a case, this is a good video ( . I used a small putty knife as I feel it works better and does less damage. YYY=drive serial number XXX=disk drive assignment as in "sdh" WARNING: This is a destructive test as I have it below. Do not run on drives in your array. badblocks -b 4096 -c 98304 -p 0 -w -s -o /boot/preclear_reports/BadBlocks_Seagate_YYYY_3-27-2013 /dev/XXX Run it from within screens so you can close the terminal window. Update: 1.5 hours into the "Badblocks" test and the drive temps are at 34C. Quote Link to comment
