bad block scanning USB fat32 stuck on 28%
Hi
I bought a new seagate 2TB and I thought I would scan it for bad blocks.. Im finding more
new drives with large capacitors seem to be having them now.. maybe the technology is maxed out
its about time hard drives were this optical magneto idea they been saying for years and 30tb capacities
anyhow
I click drive 9 scan drive for bad blocks, on usb attached drives and its be scanning for 24 hours so far and last 12 hours stuck on 28% the hard drive light is blinking onm the seagate desktop (fat 32)
so must be working on it.. and web interface says status cpu is 100%
yet the web percentage hasnt moved.
bug in web interface? or has it found masses of bad blocks on a new drive?
anyone experienced same issue? no other way to bypass web inteface and check status
I guess on the NN200?

I connected to back to a xp pc and reformatted and rerun the check on nas .. this time it was stuck on 0 percent for 5 fays.. I bombed it..and tried to copy a heap of stuff.. got to 200gb and it lost the usb connection
and the drive light flashing non stop.
turned out to be a bad seagate 2tb drives.. seems these big drives in usb are a problem.. well thats the first new seagate drive that I ever had go bad within 3-5 years..
maybe them buying maxtor stuff has usted seagates reputation of stable drives for good now..
waiting on a replacement.. will see if thats better.. but googling these desktop seagates usb 2 drives (cheapest about) seem to have issues and firmware bugs
just thought I update you incase others have same issue with these
UPDATE2! apparantly ive been banned from replying etc can only edit my own posts.. how nice of thecus
anyhow the scanning on nas worked fine.. I checked all drives and smart did find some bad blocks
but also the usb drives attached either ran clean or did find the odd bad block..
I got a replacement seagate 2tb.. this one worked fine and checking worked to 100% no errors found.
incase want to know.. to scan 2TB usb drive takes about 29 hours
and 1.5 took just under 24 hours
however the nas internal drives takes about 12 hours to bad block scan.. hence interface is faster then usb
obviously..
((((
it would be handy if they had a INFO tab next to these scans or the OK pop up to state these time findings so
gives some a clue how long it should take.. if takes 2 days something is very wrong with the drive
(((((
typically usb it ticks over 1% every 18min and internal every 9min

I would not necessarily trust the NAS disk check software.
You could recheck the drives by booting a PC with "parted magic" live cd.
