Hi.

Hello.

I have a Seagate hard disk problem with the SMART report. Specifically, UltraDMA CRC error.

I would like to know if this indicates a problem or I can forget about this report...

How do you see the graphical performance of the hard disk?

Thank you.

That drive's throughput is being limited somehow - is it attached via USB?

There has been only 1 CRC error, so it is not important at this stage IMHO.

Is this drive being used by you for data, or are you trying to repair it, or are you trying to recover data from it, or something else?

Yes, The testings have been done via usb. I forgot to comment.

The hard drive had it stored and wanted to use it on my laptop. Nothing more.

Regards.

And also, as asked, what's your goal?

The hard drive on my laptop that I have right now is very bad:

Reallocation Sector Count: 2-000F
Reallocation Event Count: 2

I want to use this hard drive but will give me performance issues ....

If that's the goal, best thing is not to use it.

@xose_maria,

Thanks for confirming that you used USB for the test.


Are you asking "will this drive" (the currently unused Seagate ST9160314AS, whose SMART data you listed at the start of this thread) "give [you] performance issues"? If so then why are you specifically asking about performance (and not reliability, or noise, or anything else)? Do you have a reason why you think the performance from that drive would be abnormal?

IMHO it's not sensible to try to answer any performance questions based on the data supplied so far, since the read throughput graph was collected when the drive was attached via USB. If you want to test the native throughput of the drive, you need at attach it via (e)SATA and re-run your throughput benchmark.

Is there a reason, which you have not told us yet, why you worry about the performance of this specific Seagate ST9160314AS drive?

Or are you asking about the performance of the drive currently in your laptop (not the drive whose SMART data you listed at the start of the thread)? Please try to be clear - the ambiguities in your comments are becoming confusing.
