Seagate ST2000VM003 Pipeline HD 2 TB 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - Black

Product Information

It delivers exceptional speed and responsiveness which make it ideal for enterprise-level applications, intensive data processing, and tasks that demand the highest level of performance and reliability. The label on the drive didn't look like other Seagate drives I have, so I was a bit suspicious from the start. Corroboration that the disk is probably duff is interesting, but ' a bloke on a forum says it is broken' won't help with the supplier. If the drive is connected to your Mac, you can use the Apple System Profiler to determine the model number and serial number.

The disk failed again a while later and I did not get round to doing anything about it until recently, when I bought a 2TB Seagate Pipeline and popped it in. MartinLiddle Good thought - I will post more details from (paper) disk label when I open box up again after the weekend as I am away until next week. Also signs of sticky label or tape having being removed either side of Seagate ID label, which was not encouraging. I can try to get seller to replace if I know it is faulty, and am just looking to make sure I do know that and have not left any unturned stones in my config options.

Some of the recordings on the dodgy disk worked so I will copy them back onto new disk over network, accepting that some of the files may be slightly corrupted by bad sectors on failing disk.

Product images are for illustrative purposes only therefore the delivered product may vary from the one shown above. My disk is failing and I see that the disk replacements mentioned in the forums are no longer easily available. I removed a couple of potentially corrupt files and other things started working better - some recordings decrypted and became watchable (may or may not be due to disk, but it looked like it - I was also playing with autodecrypt settings so cannot be 100% sure it was just from file removal that things started working better). I then started to get generalised freezing issues and apparently unplayable recordings, saw from the forum that this is dometimes disk related, so ran disk checks. I don't have anything very precise to measure them with unfortunately, especially under load and normal working.

Three faulty disks would be incredibly unlucky, I am (touch wood) still using the original disk with no more than a couple of faulty sectors.

Disk problems continued, however and I ran fix-disk again but it seemed to go into an infinite loop in that it kept finding new bad sectors (like in the above messages) and resetting its count-down counter to 1520ish every time, so looked like it was never going to finish. I will send it back this week once I have retrieved remaining files off it, in case they are still watchable (pot luck - some were OK). Disk reports perfectly OK, formatted from TV menu and left running for 12 hours before running short disk check and it reports all seems fine (so far so good). Does anyone have any experience of using the Seagate SkyHawk 2TB Surveillance Hard Drive ST2000VX008 or can recommend another currently available drive that would work? ASUS ASUS ROG Flow Z13 GZ301ZE-LC218W - Tablet - with detachable keyboard - Intel Core i9 12900H / 2.With its optimization for low-power consumption, smooth video streaming, and stunningly quiet operation, these drives are built for reliable 24x7 operation. I do have a USB caddy and could probably attach to a linux box for additional testing of the disk, though. They are built to withstand a lot of wear and tear, making them a good choice for long-term storage. Seeing as you asked, I reinstalled the custom firmware initially to get it up to date as it was several years old, then after wiping the disk I did it again to get a clean slate and exclude any possible complications from any added packages or messing up of config on my part, to remove those potential sources of 'noise' from the situation.
