SSD Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 This thread should be used to document drives that failed or showed signs of failure and were taken out of service. Please include the brand and model, approximate age of the drive, whether drive is in warranty, short description, and a smart report if at all possible. If there is a forum thread documenting the failure, feel free to link that also. Do not document DOAs or infant mortality during a preclear. Quote Link to comment
dirtysanchez Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Brand: Seagate Model: ST3000DM001 Approximate age at failure: 1.8 years Drive in warranty: Yes The drive just up and died one day, no issues prior. Drive was completely offline, exhibited the "click-of-death", and unable to pull a SMART report. SMART reports prior to death were clean as a whistle. I no longer have the last SMART report prior to death, but it was 6 days before the failure of the drive, and not a single abnormal parameter.

cassiusdrow Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Brand: Seagate Model: ST3000DM001-1CH166 Approximate age at failure: 2 years Drive in warranty: 2x Yes, 1x No I've had three failures of this model drive in the last 6 weeks. One drive was out of warranty and exhibited some bad sectors but still works otherwise. The other two became inaccessible and unable to generate smart reports. Those two were still under warranty and showed no sign of issues before failure. All of them were around two years old. Fortunately, I had enough time between failures to allow unRAID to rebuild each disk onto a new drive. I'm really glad I keep a precleared cold spare at all times. These failures worry me because I still have several more of these drives and the age of the drives at failure seem to be consistent with Backblaze reports. Quote Link to comment

HellDiverUK Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 WD Blue 4TB - WD40EZRZ - bought batch of 4. 2 died within a month. Replaced by WD, refurbished drives run much cooler and quieter than originals. WD Red 5TB - WD50EFRX - bad sectors after just under a year, sent back to WD. WD replaced with a 4TB Blue. 6 months of arguing with WD eventually got it replaced with a 5TB Purple. Quote Link to comment

Talonius Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Brand: Seagate Model: Barracuda ST8000DM004 (from STEB8000100) Age: ~3 months (purchased 12/21/2018) Warranty: No, but only because I shucked it from an external drive case. Short Description: Worked great for a month in my ReadyNAS, then began to have issues writing to disk (for about a month), then failed. No SMART report, but I do plan on using the Seagate tools to see if I can recover it. Quote Link to comment
jademonkee Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 My first ever dead hard drive (in Unraid or elsewhere). By coincidence I slept in the same room as the server last night, and woke this morning to the sound of a hard drive clicking in its death throws. Unraid has now taken the disk offline, so I have to order a spare today and do a preclear stress test. Now I have that special anxiety of only single parity and one disk down! So will probably take the array offline until it's ready to be replaced - especially as one other disk is from the same batch (the parity drive), and there is another disk in there of the same model. Looks like the disk failed at month 40 (came with a 36 month warranty booooo). I had all the info stored in the 'identity' section of unraid, coz I thought it was a very handy place to store it, but now that the disk is offline, I can't actually access that info, so the below information is taken from the parity, which is the same model purchased at the same time: Model family: Seagate NAS HDD Device model: ST4000VN000-2AH166 User capacity: 4,000,787,030,016 bytes [4.00 TB] Sector sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Rotation rate: 5980 rpm Form factor: 3.5 inches Date of purchase: 2016-07-04 Date of failure: 2019-11-11 (3 years 4 months - length of warranty: 3 years) Quote Link to comment
fschris Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I guess this is dead...filled entire room with smoke and the fire alarms were going off in the house. Bought this from a HDD refurbish place on ebay last march. Prob not under warranty. Edited March 14, 2020 by fschris Quote Link to comment

My guess is the power to the drive was at fault. Quote Link to comment
fschris Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 its been in for a few month ( almost year.) it is keyed so dont think i plugged in wrong. The adapter was a standard molex so not sure! I am curios now as I know that the only to power the drive was to use that adapter. something about the 3.3v pin or something. i guess i will do some reading about it Quote Link to comment
fschris Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I have done some research... I guess this is 'somewhat well documented" lol Quote Link to comment

So I don't need any of those adapters, like you show, my old setup had 2 running for 5 years. I am ordering a second cable for my power supply with 4 more Sata power plugs. Quote Link to comment
Mason736 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Good morning, fellow UnRaiders! Recently, as early as this morning, I've had 3 drive failures, all of the same model drive. Seagate Ironwolf ST8000VN04. I've been using Seagate drives religiously for years, and have never had an issue. My array currently has over 10 8TB drives of the Ironwolf ST8000VN002 model. Seagate has since replaced the ST8000VN002 with the ST8000VN04 model, and all three drives i've purchased and put in service in the last year, have failed. Has anyone else been having issues with these new drives from Seagate? Thanks Quote Link to comment
