Hey guys, 

 

Was playing around with my multiplug powerboard  the other day and fritzed the socket my externals plug was plugged...oops .. 

 

Anyway...long story short - dismantled the hdd as it would not power on - chucked her in the rigg via sata and she was alive BUT raw...after recovering all our kids baby photos and videos...(yes i narrowly avoided being murdered)

one by one...handful by handful copying them off the drive as i did not has the extra space to copy the whole lot at once and since no file names....TEDIOUS!! ...

 

Formatted the drive - All up and running.

 

BUT IS IT STILL RELIABLE NOW??? 

 

To not be able to have any faith in a 2TB drive is a horrible thing..

You should run a test on it. Check it's basic health with CrystalDiskInfo, and then see about other tests if you're that worried.

I would say run a disk health scan and see what that reports.

Basically, yes. You want to not have an absurd amount of hours (you have quite a few, but not too many) and not too many power cycles. Your drive looks fine. What's up with the one that says caution?

If it has bad sectors, it's probably a bad drive. I'd replace it.

No, that doesn't have anything to do with the health of a drive. Bad sectors become present when there are issues with the drive.

Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing about mechanical drives. I've got one that's really weird. Sometimes my computer won't pass it's POST with it installed, other times it just complains of bad sectors, and other times it works fine.

HD Tune "completed with read failure" at 10% ....gone burger for this drive?   6,000hrs .....vs the external i thought was stuffed @ 16,000hrs which is 100% fine now. grrrr running all the tests with ease now doing a surface test going to take 3hrs - not sure if it will offer any "repair" options after all that.

 

1.7TB that i cant clone or copy - cloning gets 2/3 the way through then just hangs i gave up after 5.5hrs, and drag n drop copy handful by handful worked for a few things now copy speed goes to 0 after a few seconds and "not responding" which grinds the whole system to a halt..if you manage to "restart" it hangs on the restarting windows screen..forcing a hold the power button shutdown  :-(
