Thanks again. I did a check and it seems to show up on my particular drive. View: https://imgur.com/a/wlM9qtd

Thanks. Can I ask if they are all expected to behave this way? I also have a Seagate 2tb, st2000lm007-1r8174, which from a search, is also SMR. It's around 80% full, it's a faulty drive that I've copied but I'm able to still run it and access the data. The HDtune benchmark for this drive...

View: https://imgur.com/a/CYxnetm I'm looking for some input on this so i can understand this better, the readings on my HDtune benchmark go steady at around 100MB/s up to around 800gb, then abruptly jump to 250MB/s for the remaining of the 2gb. I've done tests with Seatools and there doesn't...

It seems to be running good. The tests are all a pass, the only thing I've noticed is it does not go to sleep after the set amount of time. I've tried turning the sleep settings on and off as well as resetting the time but none of that has worked so far.

I have a bit of an ad hoc setup at the moment, I am transferring large amounts of data from a quirky internal drive to a WD mybook ultra which is connected to my pc via usbc. I have placed the drive on the floor in a safe area near my workspace only for when I'm transferring files, it's not...

48 hours later, not further beeping, all tests are fine, no errors on HDtune error test (long version), pass on all WD utilities tool. Drive runs great, play videos while transferring large files in and out of the drive without any pausing or hesitation. I do freak out everytime I hear some...

I have a backup WD external 2tb MyPassport drive from 2020 that started beeping occasionally recently. It gets minimal use, it was connected to my pc 24/7 for the first three months after I bought it and then only connected when I needed to retrieve or add a file to the drive. The other day I...

Thanks for the quick response. I'm running windows 7 home premium. I don't know about the other stuff you mentioned, there are no error messages that I'm aware of, i did a search on the TRST you mentioned but did not find anything pertinent to my case...

I have a WD 4tb internal drive which I have had since earlier this year for storage on my PC running windows 7. I have no issues with this drive and it worked well until earlier today, I was transferring a folder, about 5.5gb with a dozen or so files which I accidentally deleted from it's...

I have a portable 2tb WD My Passport external drive, which is one of many connected to my pc at any time. This particular drive, will occassionally pop up in the autoplay menu when a drive is first plugged into a windows pc. I thought I had remedied it by setting the sleep settings but it still...

Thanks guys. The drive names were just an example. Basically I plan on simultaneously transferring files on four separate drives at the same time (I have four internal and three external drives). I know that transferring multiple files to one drive from two different sources can slow things...

So is it still 2.5'' drive?

I bought a 4tb Seagate backup plus recently. I already have a 2tb drive from the same brand and series, but I noticed the 4tb was thicker in size compared to it's 2tb counterpart. It's not too big that it looks like a 3.5'' inside, but not quite double the size of the 2tb drive. I'm wondering...

I currently have two external drives, a wd and seagate 4 and 6tb. I plan on getting another one as a backup. I'm not sure what i will be getting, if I can still get the same models as the ones I have or not. I wonder if it's ok to use the power supply for my existing drives on a new one even if...

Just in case anyone is still interested or encounters the same problem, my faulty disk is still running albeit performing very poorly. I was able to screenshot and back up most of my files within the first ten days. Some files took faster than others, probably depending on their location on the...
