Yes, I was messing with you to see what you would say. Most don't see it until they posted and then they are like opps. But I get that same post from 1 or 2 in a thread everyday. Good times indeed.

It also is showing a Spin Retry Count, which could indicate heads sticking to the platter, or a failing motor- since the number is still relatively low- again I would recommend to just monitor it.

For disk 1, it also has some spin retry counts which will lower the HD health.
Most helpful post in the thread. thumb.gif

Spin retry count literally means that the drive failed to spin up to the proper speed (RPM) on the first attempt, then had to try again.

It's usually a sign of mechanical issues... but who knows, maybe your powersupply is weak - that would explain why all your drives have it?

There's no easy way to find out. If you have a multimeter, you might be able to test your PSU's +12v rail, but even that isn't guaranteed to find a problem.

What model of PSU do you have? Although any PSU can be defective, there are certain brands and models that are far more likely to be.

Since your drives are the same model, it's also possible that they came from the same batch and have the same defect.

Hmm... if it randomly disappears again, check and see if Spin Retry Count went up at all, for that drive.


Have you ever updated the firmware for your ST31000340AS drives?
