Looks like my previous post about having to RMA a Seagate drive was in error.

I RMA'd that drive, got a new one, and resolver Ed the pool. A month later that replacement drive is starting to have errors again.

I had a hunch it is the backplane or the SAS cable, so I moved the drive to a different bay and ran a scrub and it checked out fine, but another drive started having errors, and that drive is in one of the 4 bays connected with the same cable.

So, i have ordered a replacement cable and will install it and then do a scrub, and hopefully the issue will be gone.

TLDR version, I may have disparaged a 10TB Seagate Enterprise drive in error, and have now taken it back.

When did torrenting die? I must have missed that saga.

It did for me when comcast started blocking torrenting and putting in download limits, that made it much harder to do what was previously easy, so it wasnt worth the trouble anymore. Plus they started giving your info to people with lawyers, for downloading things you werent supposed to .

It's about time someone posted a shot of a drive with more power on hours than one of mine. :D

There's a slim chance I might be able to beat that one but I still haven't been able to make myself check the other eight or ten old hard drives I have laying around. Plus I know some of them are no good anymore but never get around to taking them apart for the magnets.

Speaking of magnets, can you guess what hard drive this magnet on the left came out of? the other parts are from the same drive.
It reminds me of a brake caliper.

I'm going to date myself, here, but 12 widely spaced platters suggests an ancient full-height 5.25" drive?

(For you kids out there, the 5.25" bays for optical drives, etc., are actually "half-height.")

nope, it's a 3.5" half height drive. the platters are actually smaller than normal 3.5" hard drives.

I don't have a clue what drive that's from although I would guess it's a SCSI or SAS enterprise type drive with that number of platters and how it's built.

Didn't realize they had made it all the way to 12 platters in that size, I thought we were only up to 9 tightly packed in a helium drive.

What's the model?

Ancient? That looks brand new! Not a single speck of stain on those platters!
Cn you put something near it for reference? Perhaps a pencil?

Mate Zepher , you've been awful evil to you're hard drive. Only 13xx hours nd already dwn to 52%.

Ya, Chia really works your SSD to death. That was only 80TB of plotting.

I have the platter stack sitting on top of a standard 3.5" drive platter.

I'm betting its a old scsi drive. reminds me of the old quantum era drives. I think seagate had a drive with parts like that too.

but dont most 5.25" dives use a stepper motor? I think the big foot was one of the only 5.25 drives that didnt have a stepper motor

Yes, it's a SCSI drive.

Kinda looks like a seagate 10k drive. I have a compaq branded one that is normal 3.5 height and the case looks the same but shorter.

Thought mine was an Atlas III drive but it actually was a seagate when I pulled it out to check, so edited my post to be correct lol.....too much old hardware to keep track of. Had a pair of these drives in my BP6 over 20 some years ago until one of them died and the other got very unreliable.

Well, FYI, Torrent is alive and well. Even for Comcast users. Other than the download limit, any decent VPN or VPS provider can get around those restrictions.

I bought a used Intel NUC last week that had this Samsung 840 EVO mSATA drive in it. I decided to check the health status of it and noticed that power on hours was really high.
Was this drive even out 11 years ago?

these are mine, the 120GB I retired because it was already starting to fail, the 500GB continues to go without problems. In case anyone is interested, I leave the hours that the crystal disk was counting (The Crystal disk generates LOG of all the parameters), I always leave the program open to keep an eye on the units.

This is a re-post of my Windows 2K8 server that I've replaced with new unRAID servers. That means this computer is now only powered on for the occasional backup with the unRAID servers. It's no longer 24/7. Other machines, like Perplexer's, should surpass it. Also, other than the pics of the old HDDs, this appears to be the only Parallel drive since all the pics that I've seen here are of SATA drives.

I just realized that the Power-On Hours Current/Worst values appear to be a percentage of remaining life. I'm curious, what do other people have?

Very impressive for an IDE drive, especially such a large one. (y)

Yes, Indeed, it is a ATA parallel port, I also have a 160GB Maxtor 7200.10 series Parallel ATA that has 65,000h, but I have not connected it for a long time, one day I will plug it in and I will give you a screenshot.
I have discovered a terrible bug in the 1BD142 series units, when they reach 80,000h the counter is reset: '(.
Mine already goes for 77,000h but it has not yet been reset, but my uncle has one like it, and it exceeded 80,000h and it was reset, now it marks 700h.

Daayyyummm...that system and drive are awesome for just working that long. I wouldn't have retired it and just left it as a failover for the VM version. Or at least that setup needs a new job--it's clearly still good for one. (y)
