issues with slow reading of ST3250318AS

[crecomp]

Hi all
i am having an issue with a seagate 7200.12 as above reading extremely slow. Drive will show correct ID, model and serial numbers, issues are data cant be accessed and during imaging it will image at 1 block a second.
error messages in log are
Starting LBA of RW Request=00000000 Length=FFFFFFFF
ProcessRWError -Read- at LBA 00000000 Sense Code=43110081
Starting LBA of RW Request=00000000 Length=FFFFFFFF
ProcessRWError -Read- at LBA 00000000 Sense Code=43110081
Starting LBA of RW Request=00000001 Length=FFFFFFFF

has someone seen this issue before?

I had a case once similar to it.
Have you seen if the data that is copying is ok or if it's scrambled?

Hi
thank you for your reply
So far i am trying to build at least part of an image it has imaged about 1 million blocks only
the imaging process is appearing to be shwing all good green blocks,
what was the issue with your drive ?

My drive had a PCB problem.
Swapped PCB+ROM and solved the issue.

i tried that but unfortunately the drive behaves the same as the original board
i am the 2nd person who is working on this drive, my issue is that the previous people did a firmware repair/ upgrade, the drive label is a CC38, pc3000 identifies the drive as a CC49, so i am not sure what else may be the case or if this could affect the process somehow.
serial numbers are corect so board must be the original board
