Interesting problem

February 16th, 2012, 2:52

On my Maxtor 6Y060P0, I have issues with the below attributes, 201 and 203: (Diamond Max 9) (Not the dreaded Diamond Max 8 series)


201 Soft_Read_Error_Rate 0x000a 253 248 000 Old_age Always - 5

203 Run_Out_Cancel 0x000b 253 252 180 Pre-fail Always - 0

Strangely, the raw value for Soft Read Error Rate climbs when doing writes.

And goes back down when doing a read scan. What is this about?

And sometimes, I got a non-zero raw value for Run Out Cancel.

All sectors show up fine with MHDD.
