Okay this is about a seagate external HDD i got like a month back
Tested with HDSentinel, both health and performance are reported as 100%, but certain non critical attribute values are degrading.
Values that are not perfect are:-
1.Throughput performance is at 58 (Should be 100 I guess?)
2.Drive Calibration Retry Count
3.Write Error Rate
4.Load Unload Retry Count

I'm pasting HDSentinels report here, please take a look:-

Why is my not even one month old HDD doing this? I had an exact same Seagate drive that died and has been with Seagate warranty service for a month. I still haven't got it back. Every time I call them, they tell me "we understand your problem but please bear with us, we'll mail you a replacement within just a few more days". Can't wait for a whole month without having a backup drive, so I purchased this new drive, and it's showing bad smart values. Since all these attributes are non-critical, Seagate says Warranty replacement isn't possible. Maybe I should give up on Seagate and switch completely to Western Digital. What do you guys say? Should I just trash this drive and purchase yet another? That would be my 3rd external HDD in 2 months! :(


 
Hey Lumia925. First I'd recommend that you delete the serial numbers of both drives for security measures (especially when you say one of them is still under warranty). As for the SMART data, I think it's not yet something you should worry about, but keep an eye on it just in case. Run regular checks of the drive to see if there's something troublesome and backup with the first sign that something might be wrong. But overall I think the drive is OK from what I can see in this log.

Hope that helps.

Hey thanks Boogieman,
Good to know it's not in immediate danger, am really getting tired of the seagate guys, like i said, i'll get all WD drives from now on. Okay, got another problem i was hoping you could help me with?
If you take a look at the HDSentinel log i posted above, i have two drives connected, one an internal WD Blue drive, and another an external Seagate Expansion drive. The WD drive is working great, but for the seagate drive, in the "SERIAL ATA FEATURES", there's this option which says "Device Initiating Interface Power Management . . : Supported, Disabled". How do I enable this? It was enabled before I guess, if I didn't use the HDD for a while but kept it plugged it, it would turn itself off, not just spin down, but actually turn itself off, the lights would go off completely. But now, it just spins down (i can feel the spinning vibration calm down after about 10 minutes idling) but the light stays on.
HDSentinel doesn't give me the option to turn it on. I downloaded seatools for windows, it's even worse, it doesn't even read SMART data off the drive, it just says "SMART not supported on this drive". Is there some tool i can download to manually enable this feature? It's supported, but for some reason, got disabled.. Unplugging-replugging, or plugging to a different computer, shows the same result...
Thanks :)

Spot on!
It works! It now turns itself completely off again!
Doesn't just spin down, but the lights turn off too!
So I guess all my problems are solved!
I never expected to find an actual WD person here, and help me solve Seagate problems. You are just awesome :)
Goodbye Seagate, I'm totally converted- all WD from now on :)
Thanks a million for all your kind help :)
