As mentioned before I tried with two new disks of the same type. Both failed. I'll try to test with yet another one. I'm currently running the tests on the second disk. Would the smart infos of the other failing disk(s) help? > smartctl -d ata -t short /dev/sda # wait 5 min > smartctl -d ata -t long /dev/sda > > Then show us: > > smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda # output paste into e-mail is attached below. The self-tests ran without errors, but I wonder if those high RAW_VALUES for attributes like Seek_Error_Rate are OK? thanks, Moritz smartctl version 5.32 Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: ST3500641AS Serial Number: 3PM0DPFF Firmware Version: 3.AAD Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Tue Sep 5 23:00:25 2006 CEST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
