Seagate ST3000DM001 - An Adventure, or something like that...

[Scharbag]

So all was well for a little while... 2 outright fails that FreeNAS simply disconnected and a 3rd that just popped up with 40 unreadable sectors, so it is on the way out. I guess I will be buying more 4TB drives...

At least all of the 3TB drives are in my backup pool now. :|

Viva la FreeNAS!!

 

[Scharbag]

Now this HDD is really having some issues:

Code:

Device: /dev/da23 [SAT], 40 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Device: /dev/da23 [SAT], 40 Offline uncorrectable sectors
Device: /dev/da23 [SAT], Self-Test Log error count increased from 0 to 1
Device: /dev/da23 [SAT], Self-Test Log error count increased from 4 to 5
Device: /dev/da23 [SAT], Self-Test Log error count increased from 7 to 8
Device: /dev/da23 [SAT], ATA error count increased from 0 to 4

Lol. 16 CRC errors in the last 30 mins during a resilver. These damn ST3000DM001 drives are just terrible. 88.56% complete on the resilver replacement of the drive.

Yeah, some of their 1.5TB drives had awesome failure characteristics as well. I am not impressed with the 3TB drives either.

My collection of a dozen or so seagate baracuda 1.5TB suffered a 120% failure rate. (Ie the replacements failed too)

The last two left standing are in a mirror in a client machine, and one of them kicked out the other day with errros.

When one of them fails totally I'm just going to replace them with a 2TB evo ssd

Slightly off-topic: funny to see this here.

I was doing some cleaning up and had a bunch of drives i needed to test / check. Found this:

an ST3100 that has been running for 62000 hours and that only recently started to give some issues ;-) This thing ran for more then years. Longer than my kid ;-)

The other disks from the same set all come out without errors ;-)

I have a few hours to go before I get to 60K hours!! Temps are a little high but I have been resilvering multiple drives for a while and the case is in a warm utility room.

As you can see, I have donated many dollars to seagate over the years... The 4TB drives have been much better than the 3TB drives.

Cheers,

Its gunnnna be expensive to replace all these drives as they start to hour out. Is there any rule of thumb as to how long a spinning rust drive will last?

I usually get a little worried past 50K hours.

MTBF" is a wonderfully deceptive concept, and is nicely discussed by some companies such as Digi, which is a pretty good explanation. I fall under the "MTBF is not accepted by all customers (some regard it as a meaningless number, both absolutely and relatively)"

Fixified. Thanks.

You're welcome :) I was glad to see they still have the page after 3 years

I read the page the next day. My favourite are:

Show : spoiler

A power supply with an MTBF of 40,000 hours does not mean that the power supply should last for an average of 40,000 hours

and

Code:

Time       Probability of Survival
1 year     99.43%
5 years    97%

and

B10 reliability rating (the time at which 90% of the units are expected to survive).

You're welcome :) I was glad to see they still have the page after 3 years :)

And *I* have a giddy little grin on my face that people still read my stuff that same 3 years later and care enough to follow my links, and even fix them. It shows that this is all worth the effort.

I have some ST5000DM000 harvested from Seagate external USB hard drives. They only have a pitiful warranty of something like 3 months or 6 months, but they happen to make up my main storage pool which has never had an error..... yet! They're coming up on 2 years of heavy usage now so i am hoping I didn't just jinx them.
