Seagate 2TB is busted

rooivalk · Feb 28, 2014

Hmm apparently my Seagate ST2000DM001 is busted. It showing blue screen 0x000000F4 a week ago everytime I play a game from its drive, but after I change it to another SATA slot (The cable's head is a bit thick and tightly squeezing its neighbour cable), it works again for a week.
Today, the bluescreen started to come again and even changing SATA cable or slot won't do the trick. It'll BSOD. I can't even finish HD Tune quick error scan when booted from another HDD as it'll went undetected after few minutes

Well, shit happens, I'll probably order new HDD on monday, but my question is: is there any tricks I can try to save this HDD? or the death is already inevitable?

also, at 2-3TB, which HDD is currently reliable? I want to go back to WD, but at the Seagate price I could only get the far slower green version.

test it in another machine. We had the same thing similar happen to one of our work machine and it turned out to be the SATA controller.

Possibly, It could be slowly working it's way out and becoming disconnected, if it is to tight of a fit.

Have you tried a different cable or in a port that is not space limited?

As brandonwh64 stated, try in another machine; and, also, test it with Seatools.

rooivalk · Feb 28, 2014

I already test it with another cable and slot. I also use those same cable and same slot for different HDD and it works fine.
I'll try seatools.

I might not even be the drive. How about running some test on it? ........HD Tune, Crystal disk

rooivalk · Mar 2, 2014

hey sorry for late response, I tested it with this result (look at link below for screenshot):
- HD Tune / Crystaldisk smart reading
- HD Tune error scan -> 1st try half green, 1 block red, 2 block green, then all red because the disc went undetected. 2nd try all green
- Seatools Short DST -> fail
- Seatools Fix All long -> fail
- I tried to mount it in another PC, but apparently nothing different.

Is it worth and safe to try zero fill format? because I'm afraid the drive will suddenly undetected when the format is running.
I'll RMA the drive tommorow, but I'm curious.

If it's not a big problem could you try to test it in Hard Disk Sentinel and post the screenshot so we can see the health and performance of the drive.

2tb is a big space, and losing 2Tb data is painful
and thats the risk when storage getting bigger and bigger and the price getting cheaper

Jetster · Mar 2, 2014

I know i have about 40% of my stuff backed up. But its a total of about 5Tb

Devon68 · Mar 2, 2014

I have an older 750GB ATA drive that I keep my games on. I have about 500GB of games but the drive started to fail so I had to buy the 1TB I have now. The 750GB has according to sentinel 10 days left for health and performance is @ 50%

That sucks. Hope you can move most of your important data on the 640GB drive.
Best to RMA the 2TB one at this point.
