Seagate ST3000DM001 Weird Rom

March 29th, 2019, 13:53

Hi guys, I've been having some troubles with a drive and I was looking at the rom and found something strange (to me, as someone who isn't used to read roms)

Here are some screenshots, can someone confirm either this is normal or not?

I've examined numerous ROMs and I do recall seeing those same text strings.

The drive powers up, clicks a bit and stops clicking, board gets really hot tho.

Those strings are present in a Granada ROM, nothing unusual there.

Personally i would take a look at the heads under microscope, will most likely tell you what you are dealing with. If none of the heads are dirty, maybe terminal can give you hint about whats going on.
