[Solved] Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166: Load Cycle Count

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. Is that test run automatically at boot, or on a schedule? I've never manually triggered it. Both times my drive 'failed' (and had a higher command timeout value afterwards) the NAS was in normal operation. EDIT: Included quote for top of page clarity.

No, I have run this test manually trough the boot menu. That is a offline hard drive test.
Haven't noticed anything unusual in normal operation without the nas completely freezing when using sabnzbd from readynas extras. Could be a problem with sabnzbd, just strange that no one is mention any problems with it..
