CUCHULAINN Mac Pro, 4 hard drives all less than 6 months old. 3 Seagate / 1 Western Digital. Smart Utility reports 3 out of 4 hard drives are failing. Guess which 3? Yep, all 3 Seagate drives are failing according to Smart Utility. I suspect a bug in the algorithm reporting false positives for bad blocks for these drives. 1 Seagate ST31000340AS and 2 X Seagate ST3750640AS if it matters to anyone. Tech Tools Pro 5.0.4 reports no errors on any drives for SMART check or Surface Scan. SMART reporter also reports no problems. Hooked them up to a Windows box, SeaTools also finds zero problems. I give it a 2 overall. Good in concept, poorly implemented. (Version 2.0.1) |
