dead drive? Seagate Expansion 8TB shucked


Recommended Posts

Hello friends, wondering if someone would check out my diagnostics to see if this drive is toast. I haven't restarted yet, it just reported that it had errors and was taken out of the array. All five drives are shucked Seagate Expansion 8TB drives. I'd like to check the warranty, but do I need to crack the case and look at the sticker on the drive? I don't have any info from the original order, didn't take pics :( of the drives. Is any of this info from the main page the serial number I'm looking for?

ST8000DM004-2CX188_WCT03HHD - 8 TB (sdc)

 

When I put that WCT03HHD into the Seagate warranty checker, it just hangs forever. I bought the drives in 2017, so it's well within the three year warranty period. I've seen conflicting info online on if shucking voids warranties.

 

I also saw I should pop the case anyhow and check all the wires. I'll do that this evening.

 

Thanks for peeking!

Note that once it has occurred a red ‘x’ can only be cleared by doing a rebuild regardless of whether the drive is actually OK.   Simply rebooting the server will not clear this status.

Ah hah! Okay, I'll get that rebuild going. I suppose it can't hurt to have the extra drive around anyhow.

 

Un-plugged, and replugged all the wires. They all look fine to me so far. Going to re-enable the drive, let it rebuild, and see where we're at next. I've got another drive showing up tomorrow in case something gets weird; and it will be ready to go if/when a bad-write happens again.

 

I'll update this thread. Thanks!

 

re-enable the drive
