Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166
All, I have a readynas Ultra 4 with (3) 2TB Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166 -302 drives in it. I have firmware CC3C that came with the drives. I have read the issues people have had with these drives. I...
I have two of these drives in a Pro Pioneer and have had them for more than 6 months. Like others here I have had frequent failures "dead" channel yet SeaTools always reports the drive healthy. The other 4 disks in the ReadyNAS are older Seagate 2TB disks and they have been perfectly reliable. Every few weeks one of the two ST2000DL003's reports dead. I remove it, erase, put it back and the ReadyNAS resyncs the drive.
I have patiently been waiting for a firmware update (they currently have CC32), or a fix in the ReadyNAS firmware. But nothing has been forthcoming. Now I have lost patience. Can anyone recommend a reliable low-cost 2TB drive to replace them with?
Also, what recourse to I have. These drives are on the Seagate HCL but clearly are not suitable. I'm out at least $250, purchased because they were on the HCL.
Thanks
