Seagate Error codes

Two of my drives in my 104 are having problems. One that died I checked with SeaTools, and it failed to run the tests and cameback with an error code E161CB4A. Anyone know what this means? A search didn't come up with anything. I'm in the middle of running a long test on the second drive. Both drives are ST3000DM001's.

  • Just a "me too". I have two of these drives go south on my at just about the year mark and my ReadyNAS, while on 24/7, is only used occasionally.

    Both drive still under warranty, but I will be avoiding Seagate in the future. Overall this is the 3rd ST2000dm001 to die a year after being put into service. The third was in an external enclosure.
