December 8, 201312 yr I tried running preclear on all three of my drives. 2x toshiba dt01aca300s and 1x seagate (common 3tb model) One of the Toshiba drives is running at 150-180MB/s (the seagate is about the same) but the second toshiba drives spits this out before it even starts: Pre-Clear unRAID Disk /dev/sdb ################################################################## 1.14 smartctl may not be able to run on /dev/sdb with the -d ata option. however this should not affect the clearing of a disk. smartctl exit status = 4 smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 Serial Number: 23F8U9PYS Firmware Version: MX6OABB0 User Capacity: 3,000,592,982,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Sun Dec 8 03:14:46 2013 EST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

(Answer Yes to continue. Capital 'Y', lower case 'es'): After saying yes to this, I wait a few more minutes then it begins scanning like the other drives. Instead of scanning at ~160/170MBps, its scanning at 4MBps. Is this drive dead / DOA? ...Looks like it will take roughly 10 days for the first test to complete.. I guess that means it is a bad drive then? BTW, I vote a different human verification method is used... I'm not familiar with these questions
December 8, 201312 yr ...there is a chance that it is indeed DOA. However, I*d check some more things first as the readson for your problems could as well be a bad s-ata cable, bad power connector/adapter or a bad s-ata port/controller. Some hints for testing: - as you have two of the same model type toshiba disks...did you try and swap these - check the FW version of the "good" toshiba...is this the same as in the "bad" one? - double check cables and power connectors...replace with the ones from a "good" drive - test the "good" drive with the cables, power connectors and in S-ATA slot of the bad disk...are/stay these still good?
December 8, 201312 yr Author Thanks for the tip there. I did this around 3am after work so I was definitely missing some things. I tried swapping sata cables and now I get this on the same drive: Pre-Clear unRAID Disk /dev/sdd ################################################################## 1.14 smartctl may not be able to run on /dev/sdd with the -d ata option. however this should not affect the clearing of a disk. smartctl exit status = 4 smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 Serial Number: 23F8U9PYS Firmware Version: MX6OABB0 User Capacity: 3,000,592,982,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Sun Dec 8 11:46:17 2013 EST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

December 8, 201312 yr I am no expert with these reports. What worries me is this: 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0022 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 8 For a new drive I'd expect this to be zero. Does it run faster during preclear now?
December 9, 201312 yr Author Nope, it actually began reading slower than 3MBps, ~450KBps as I kept switching and re-testing.
December 9, 201312 yr This actually doesn't look good. Did you swap this "bad" one with the "good" toshiba you have...this includes S-ATA cable *and* power. AFAIR Toshiba does not offer a Disk-Diagnostics Tools for other that Fujitsu rebranded disks. However, I *think* these disks are still HGST ones (check the label, my 3TB toshibas do). So you could use this http://www.hgst.com/support/downloads#DFT (windoze), test and then RMA the drive along with the report Edit: Also, maybe post your results/problem here...I guess, this is where the experts will provide help/feedback first; http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4068.0
