ST1000LM035-1RK172
Very strange. So much sector same Its occure when at slow reading speed
Sometimes its changing after reset .
Only Head 0 making this. And H0 , H1 both reading very good condition
Anyone meet this before?
what is your advices. Thanks

when refreshing sector. some sector changing. I guess that is real data

The mo.L.D. sectors are not data -- they indicate a reading problem.

This pattern is generated by the fw and used for filling buffers, it may be used to fill MC sectors, i am not sure about this latter one.
so you get this instead of an UNC error.

I have backed up all sys except
Copy0 15E 181 182 183 184 . all others ok.
Drive sometimes reading full speed first parts of drive. When meet slows .
Sometime reading correct but slow also first parts of drive
Thanks @jono-ats. I have increased reading settings. It's reading some mo.L.D. sectors at first now. But not all

It's behave as error would be. But no error. Then show that moDL.
What mean MC

MC is Media Cache.

The new version of PC-3000 allows you to show these bad bands when reading in DE as a different color. So you can recognize the issue quickly if it is affecting a drive. Also if you use C>U10 to recover the MC, you will undoubtedly have some of these bad bands.

Now H1 also started same as H0
I guess its weak head problem for this model.

Thanks. not solved.

U10 inits MCMT, practically clears any entries, so leads to data loss as well.

U10 recovers the MC with pretty much all data in tact.
U110 clears the MC.

Very funny. Yes, U10 can recover MCMT.... just by erasing all entries

U110 clears the MC.
There is MC - Media Cache
And there is MCMT - Media Cache Management Table
MCMT describes LBAs that are stored in the MC
U10 erases MCMT but not MC, however since U10 erases all the pointers to MC, data from MC becomes unavailable (but not erased)

Clearly I meant MCMT, I will remember to be as kind to you when you make one of your many errors

But using CU10 and re-writing 348 back to the drive, gives complete MC access does it not?

yes, but only after you re-power the drive after writing the 348, and only if MC wasn't cleared by other means

Agreed.

will change heads solve this issue about mo.L.D pattern ?

Thanks. Case closed. No data recovered. I do not open this models. My assumption drive need swap head
