The caution ⚠️ message!
I tried to clear it with Victoria but there's no clear smart option after unscheduled refresh base. Could you please help me on this??

HGST HDDs support the Format Unit (F7h) command. This merges the G-list into the P-list. The command is data destructive.

Data Destruction is not an issue for this hdd coz its my hdd for learning purposes

How do I execute this??
What are the tools needed??
Is it a Terminal command??
This drive has sensor port only for iMac coz I removed this from an iMac!

I think Hugo or Niagara should be able to do it. The technical details of the command are described in HGST product manuals.

Hugo failed to format and erase
Niagara no option for usb only wincil, ahci, ata, serial what should I do??

Stop making your life difficult by interposing a USB bridge between the drive and the host. Use SATA mode.

Hugo and Niagara fails on Direct SATA Mode What Should I do??

https://hdd.by/victoria/ (Service -> HGST Vendor spec.)
Connect directly to the SATA motherboard.
Make an adapter for the power wire with a 5V and 12V switch.
To exit from frozen mode...

Now the hdd is undetected in windows and not spinning. This was the only hdd which saved all my business data. After niagara's codes. What should I do. This was a perfect hdd with some errors but was working perfectly. I restored all my data's from this hdd. I want to save this hdd. Please help

May he rest in peace...

Why??
Any terminal connection to see the drive's terminal logs

Then...



I am the only one confused with the amount of posts by this user, and the commentary?

Dude, seriously... A SMART failing drive should not be trusted to save data. You've posted in a DR community, we don't care about restoring drives to 100% operation, we just recover data and then duplicate to a new storage media. You have to think, if the SMART data suggests a failure there is an underlining cause. Popping a head or clearing SMART does not fix the underlying problem - it's masking it.

Atleast I'll make it as a spare drive for temporary purposes! Like sharing movies and imaging purposes Please

For such purpose buying a new disk may be cheaper.
