no, it's not
DoomerI have been able to recreate this failure exactly with a 100% healthy disk. The problems is in SA. But according to my experiments, I suspect that the primary cause maybe could be a weak head. Any comments on this?

I don't know the exact primary cause

This subject is very sensitive
All comes down to a fact if you are willing to let someone else do that or not.

To be exact Doomer it's a head load error.... Check your big 7200.11 Engineering manual ;o)

Guru and Doomer both work at seagate DR, am i right? That will make for an interesting read to see who is right

LOL...
Well it's new technology at the moment. Still stand by what I said.. However, could be 2 causes thats true...
Head load error could mean both I guess... 1: Bad Head 2: Unable to load code from media (Which would point to SA, so Dommer could be correct) You would probably need to drill down a little to find exact cause

I'm not thinking it is a head problem. Most of the ones we get read very well after fixing the problem. Some read slow in spots but not only on one head.

Well then lets stop swinging our pen1s. In your case it's SA in another case it could be a bad head

Guru is Western Digital........
At least it's what it sounds.......
Although, if it's true, then it would be interesting still to watch Seagate vs WD....
