Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 1CH164-510 fw cc27 problems

Price for this case is $2000.

That means your charging 45c per hour. Now thats a bargain

Connect terminal and just power on. No need to issue commands for terminal output.

I started the terminal using putty, and I receiving as you can see in the pictures, a nonsense output.
I don't know if the cables or because I don't use a proper TTL-USB adaptor could be the problem.

Select a baud rate of 38400 bps.

Configuration from putty:
Speed: 38400
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow control: None

Have you followed the correct pinout?

Also measure the voltages at the Tx and Rx pins, both at the HDD and at the adapter.

I may be wrong, but from the picture, the cable you have isn´t a USB-> RS232 cable, that is, one for "creating" a serial port in a computer without one ?

If that is the case, you should not connect the hdd direct to that cable, but would need another adapter to do the conversion from TTL<->RS232 ( a MAX3232 kind of circuit )

I'll buy this one if it is doing my job.

I hope it will be ok

[rogfanther]

It should be. At worst, you will have to adapt it to 1.8V

Could you please help me with the next steps ...

Thank you very much for your time.

Heads 1 & 2 seem weak. More than likely they are failing. Besides that, bad sectors have more than likely built up triggering firmware issues.

In short, the drive is very unstable and only a specialist IMHO will be able to do the job properly. Hopefully it is not too late. Need to keep it powered off.

Pcimage is highly recommended.

[DeXXXteR]

The HDD is all the time powered off.
I will receive the new 2Tb HDD WD Black Performance. It is possible to copy/clone data from the faulty one to the new one?
I've see some other cases resolved on the forum using the terminal commands.
Please help me with any advice that I can try at home.

Thank you for your support.

If the heads are failing, how can read (copy/clone is a read operation) data? Analogous, if a person eyes are building cataracts, can they read a book well? No, need surgery to remove the cataracts.

I advised in your best interest. I had nothing to gain from my suggestion. Pcimage won't pay me an affiliate commission or something, hahahaaa. Matter of fact, I lost time thinking about what to suggest and post to help in your (drive's) best interest.

Good luck.
