Drive mounts & dismounts before I DDI4/Atola can ID to image

May 21st, 2018, 10:24

Details:

- Seagate 2.5 inch
- 250GB Drive
- Model: ST9250410AS
- Momentus 7200.4

No clicking, head pre-routine sounds normal - then drive spins down --
~3 seconds later... starts spinning, and repeats process.

Neither recognize the drive.

RapidSpar recognizes it, but can't get to where it can diagnose/suggest a FW repair.

Replace PCB ?

Could it be the compression inside the drive?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards,

Truman

Try posting the terminal output of the drive so we have some idea what's going on.
