I didn't even want whatever replacements they would have sent me. I didn't even attempt a return, just chucked 'em and that was the first and last time I bought anything from NewEgg. How hard do you have to hit a drive to bend the cast housing?!?Īll four drives from NewEgg were DOA. The drives bounced around so much during shipping that the die-cast metal housings (the black part with the mounting screw holes) were BENT. I only buy drives in "retail" packaging, ever since a bad experience where NewEgg shipped me four drives pulled from a multi-pack, completely bare (but still in their anti-static bags) just thrown in a box with a bunch of styrofoam peanuts. Easy.įingers crossed that the replacement drives will be okay.Ĭlick to expand.I do have DriveDX but forgot that I had it! I'll check to see if it can see these drives.ī&H has been pretty great, and by now I can pretty much tell when a drive is factory fresh. Fortunately B&H Photo has a great return policy and emailed me a pre-paid shipping label and RMA form for the return. Ultrastar DC HC550 helium-filled drives have been very good to me until now. So it really does seem that three of the four drives I received were DOA. Tried two different OWC Drive Docks, two different TB2 cables (Apple and OWC), switched to USB-3 connection on blue-tip cable, on three different Macs, running three different versions of MacOS (Yosemite, El Cap, and Mojave) - all results the same.

After reading some tips on various Apple support forums, I even tried booting the Mac in Recovery Mode and accessing Disk Utility from there, same result as using Disk Utility from the normal desktop.Disk Warrior does not have the ability to just format raw drives, so that was a dead end as well. It sees them but as they are not formatted, there is no MacOS partition for Disk Warrior to try to recover. Tried the latest version of Disk Warrior to see if it could wake up the dead drives - no go.(just remembering the old "Oxford" chip debacle on FireWire drives) and they said nope, you should be good to go with high-capacity drives, and it's probably the drive mechanisms. I checked with OWC to see if there was any known issues with drives above 14tb in size in their dual-drive "toaster style" docks, maybe the SATA > TB bridge chip inside, etc.Okay, out of the four drives that arrived today from B&H, three failed with "Unable to write last block on device", but one of them formatted just fine as expected! And I'm now copying 10tb of data to that drive to see if it acts up during copying.

Thanks for your help everyone, and I'll update this thread with more info as I find out.

If all four drives were failures, I'd be more likely to think that it's a software issue and get to whacking at them with Disc Warrior or trying to build a Linux boot stick - but since one of them works, it really may be a hardware failure / damaged in shipping issue.

pre-failure state early detection - DriveDx supports 3 drive health statuses: Ok, Failing (pre-failure) and Failed.Click to expand.Okay, out of the four drives that arrived today from B&H, three failed with "Unable to write last block on device", but one of them formatted just fine as expected! And I'm now copying 10tb of data to that drive to see if it acts up during copying.ī&H, as usual, has great customer service and return policies, and I got them on the phone in two minutes and they issued an RMA for the three opened and non-functioning drives, and they will send replacements overnight.īut I'm still going to try Disc Warrior (which has saved my ass many times over the years and I still keep it current) to see if it can force-format any of the three dead drives.

real-time SSD/HDD health status monitoring.

DriveDx is the first utility of its kind to have a real user-friendly Mac-style interface. The application provides access to all sufficient drive diagnostic data to satisfy any system administrator. Our drive health diagnostics algorithms are based on the recent researches in this field. status, but also analyzes the changes of all drive health indicators that are closely related to HDD or SSD failures (like the pending bad sectors, reallocated bad sectors, uncorrectable bad sectors, SSD wear out / endurance, and more) and alerts the user immediately if anything goes wrong. Unlike most drive utilities, DriveDx does not only monitor the drive’s built-in S.M.A.R.T.

DriveDx is advanced drive health diagnostic and monitoring utility.
