I purchased a 1Tb Seagate Go drive a few months ago. It's formatted as NTFS. Today I started getting reports from smartd that the disk is failing. Specifically it's telling me that there are many bad sectors. There are no messages in /var/log/messages indicating any failures. Why is smartd claiming the disk is bad? This is the second drive (also a Seagate Go) that I get reports that the drive is failing less than a year after buying the drive. I can't believe that a drive would go bad after a few months use. I have other Seagate drives that have been in use for years without any issues. The problem seems to be specific to drives that are powered via USB.
Any assistance in the matter is appreciated. Paolo -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
