philbrown23 · Jan 3, 2009, 02:58 AM

check these hd tach resuls out. my son pulled this drive off a shelf and it hit the floor does it look right?? it is a seagate ST3300631AS 300GB sata 2 drive 7200.11

Castiel · Jan 3, 2009, 02:59 AM

Umm... I dont see anything.

zithe · Jan 3, 2009, 03:00 AM

Considering it fell on the floor, yes. It looks normal. :P

Unless transfer rates are that low on average, it looks odd.

kid41212003 · Jan 3, 2009, 03:02 AM

It's fucked. Hard.

I never saw a HHD with 1 digit write/read speed, and 4x access time, while having the CPU running at 40%.

farlex85 · Jan 3, 2009, 03:04 AM

A tad slow I suppose, whats the rush anyway......

mlee49 · Jan 3, 2009, 03:07 AM

Wow, thats slow and unusual to the array pattern I see with other's drives.

Is it packed with files? Would Defragging it help? Still though your 1 MB/s is amazing awkward.

mrw1986 · Jan 3, 2009, 03:10 AM

Drive is fubared.

3870x2 · Jan 3, 2009, 03:13 AM

. . . im guessing you really didnt need any of our opinions. . .

philbrown23 · Jan 3, 2009, 03:13 AM

its only got about 2GB worth of stuff on it not much at all, quite annoying actually.

LittleLizard · Jan 3, 2009, 03:14 AM

you were perfectly right in using WTF as the name of the screenshot, there is something bad in there. try defragging

kysg · Jan 3, 2009, 03:29 AM

forget defragging it, that sucker needs an RMA stat, sold off and replaced with an ES2 series drive.

REVHEAD · Jan 3, 2009, 09:27 AM

Those seek times are the worst I have seen, My seetimes for my Seagate.11 drives are 12.3, RMA the drive.

Nick259 · Jan 3, 2009, 09:51 PM

maybe you could get the lowest score in history on HDDmark (if there is such a thing lol

)

LittleLizard · Jan 4, 2009, 05:48 PM

LOL SEAGATE FTW

pepsi71ocean · Jan 5, 2009, 04:56 AM

maybe change the sata switch to 3GB's a second. outside of that wow thats crappy.

oli_ramsay · Jan 5, 2009, 04:28 PM

Same thing happened to me a while ago, turns out it was a molex power connector which after I sleeved it, didn't replace the connector properly. After I pushed the pin in it's housing it worked fine.
