PC3000 Portable Head Test / Not Accurate

June 10th, 2021, 13:42

Has anyone else noticed that if you are using PORT1 and PORT2 (ie: performing a recovery) at the same time - and then use PORT0 to perform a heads test (eg: WD Shrek with a lot of heads) you will get an excessive amount of R/W errors.

If you repeat the same test when PORT1 and PORT2 are not working (ie: your not doing a recovery) the heads will test OK.

I am thinking there is a b/w or I/O issue here.

This could potentially cause issues with FW repair operations. Just a heads up for any labs vetting donors.
