[Solved] Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166: Load Cycle Count
Hi, sorry if this has been discussed already, all i could find are topics about upgrading the firmware on these drives. I've got a NV+v2 with 4 3TB ST3000DM001-9YN166 disks in it, firmware CCH4 ...
The NV+ v2 doesn't have a parity disk - it's RAID pattern spreads parity blocks evenly across all disks. That prevents the problem you are pointing out (a separate parity disk indeed gets written more often, it would get 1/2 the write requests no matter how many disks are in the array).
If the disk is too old to return to the seller, then the Seagate RMA process is the only recourse you have left. They generally don't provide the same model replacement (sometimes it is even a larger drive). It will also refurbished.
