>From your smartctl output: 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 6587967 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 15265539 I just checked a system here with a 1 year old 500GB WD BLUE SATA II drive on a Sil3512 based PCI card and both 199 and 200 have a value of zero. This would seem to indicate you have a problem with the cabling between your drive and the controller. Considering this is a laptop, I'd guess it has been dropped at least once, loosening the cable connector either at the drive or the PCB socket, causing intermittent contact. If this Dell 6400 has a direct connection between the drive interface and a PCB mounted SATA socket, I'd guess than once or more traces on the PCB have been cracked, or a pin within the socket has been cracked. CRC errors indicate a transmission problem on the interface conductors. Whether the problem is either of the two things I mention above, you definitely have a problem with the interface between the drive and the SATA controller. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
