Hello friends ,
received this drive for repair purposes .
drive givving SMART error on BIOS , checking the drive on DFL , heads are OK , but due to multiple bad sectors found during logical scan SMART is in warning State ,
formated the drive adding the defects to P-list , and now the drive is bad sector free .
one thing , SMART still showing BIOS notification , tried to reset smart with DFL , and i could reset all the indicators except the reallocation count which obviously sending the warning .
tried to clear mods 21.22.23.24 which are linked to SMART and same results .
please advice .
thank you
