Seagate UNC's...: Magic or coincidence?

February 17th, 2014, 15:29

Hello all,

I just wanted to say that I have 2 different Seagate 7200.12 (on is our good friend ST31000528AS and the other one is a ST3500418AS), both exhibit a translator violation problem with slow readiness state reaching, and both coming from two different sources. Well, the point is: After fixing the translator problem, both of them copy data with no problem UP TO LBA ~6160430. Maybe same PBA, I didn't check - actual LBA is 3-4 sectors away. At this point, a bunch of wild UNC's appear. How's this possible? Aren't there about one-two billion different LBA's out there?

I can read passed that zone, up to the end of the user partition.

Weird :? did anybody notice such thing on any other 7200.12 drive? Or is it just coincidence?

Cheers

Probably errors in glist that were put back to drive after translator was recalculated.
