ST1000DM003-1CH1 problems

[FreddyAk]

Hello. My hdd make weird sounds like brrr xd. It has been happening for quite long time but nothing happened for now. It mostly happens when playing games. Here's the statistics from hd tune - speed has been constantly going down from 197 to 92 at the end. Error scan didn't pop any damaged blocks and in health chart everything is ok except for spin retry count (100) which is yellow, but still ok, and unknown attribute (100) and its ok. Raw read error rate is 114. For how long this hdd can hold up?

Check your Windows power plan and set it to max performance for the HDD.

Being a HDD, defrag the drive manually.

If Seagate has a software tool to make changes to the drives firmware for performance get it and utilize it.

Get Hitachi DFT tool and put your drive through a quick and thorough test.

Hitachi FDISK tool and put your drive through a quick and thorough test.

I think he meant Hitachi Drive Fitness Test?

Oops, yeah, wrote out the wrong acronym, been frazzled lately. Been using DFT since early 2000s when it was IBM DFT.

Since it's a Seagate hard drive, run SeaTools diagnostics.

Thanks for reply guys. I think I can bare with this sound and I think it might works for quite some time more because I ran tests that you guys recommented and none popped major errors.
