HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi

I have this HDD with a strange behaviour.
I hear no clicks.
It's well detected, can read all resources without any problem.
But When I try to read sectors, I get Read Error 48-bit Device error detected UNC.
But sometimes the same sector can be read.
On PC3K, head test is OK, but on DDI, the head's show failures, altough I could already imaged a piece of the drive.
What device should I trust?
I have tried to clear G-List, SMART and translator regen, but the same happens.
Thanks

Heads test was done in DE? And it is the same as in DDI?

No. not in DE. Only on terminal on PC3K.

ok, there u go, DE may confirm or not same behavior as DDI. Then at least you know what is going on for sure. Two good tools can't be wrong at the same time.

I didn't bought DE for now, because I own the DDI

Oh, I see.. seems like bads to me, though, at least for now.
If imaging as is, definitely only do it under supervision. 5400.6 will go kaput in a heart-beat and cause media damage.
