Hi everyone,
I have just purchased 2 new Seagate Expansion 5tb external hard drives from Amazon.
After performing my backup I performed my backup of circa 2tb on each drive, I decided to run a Short Generic Test in Seatools as I've had issues of late with my external storage.
Both drives have failed the Short Generic test at the outer scan stage giving error codes of DAD39FCD and D6D2B0CS. As the long generic takes upwards of a day for each drive I haven't run it yet but the drives passed all of the other shorter Seatools tests. I should mention that there are no obvious issues with either drive, I simply ran the tests as a precaution given recent issues. I'm running Windows 7 64bit.
Are there any known issues with these drives? I'm very confused as the chances of having two brand new faulty drives feels slim!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Best
Steve
