Hi all,

I am new here and I don't know much about hard drives so I need help, please. Two days ago I've purchased Seagate ST3250410AS 250GB Sata 16mb Cache, and tested it with Seatools. It has passed all test except Long DST test. Do I need to worry about that?

If it's brand new, take it back to where you bought it and tell them it fails the long DST test. The long DST test - tests all sectors on HDD for bad sectors.. Print out the test reports and bring them with you as proof..
