[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 problem appears isolated to the disk test. So that would seem to rule out the supply and the contacts - they wouldn't mysteriously heal when the test completes.
It is conceivable that the disk test includes some commands that provoke the drive to fail. For instance, malformed/illegal commands, or perhaps legal but unusual commands that the drive firmware doesn't handle properly.
I'd suggest a support case.
In the meantime I would simply not run that test! And record/track the current counts and confirm that they never increase in normal operation.
