IO device error

I recently installed a 3TB Seagate Barracuda but I'm running into issues with it. The device beeps every few seconds for the boot period. In Disk Management the device shows up as 3.86GB of non-initialized space. When I go to initialize the drive I get an error message stating "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." Normally I would just assume a bad drive, but I installed SeaTools and the device passed a SMART test and a short drive test. Am I just dealing with a bad drive or is this something I can fix? Thanks

 

Edit: I ran a long test and the device failed, I guess it's going back.
