I have a problem with HDD

Hi,

I have a problem with "freeze" of my MBP 2011 Later

I think it's problem with my HDD - TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF, because I found follows text in console output:


Feb 19 14:07:58 Dark-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: SATA WARNING: Enable auto-activate failed.
Feb 19 14:12:31 Dark-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed.
Feb 19 14:18:20 Dark-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed.
Feb 19 14:20:47 Dark-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed.
Feb 19 14:30:55 Dark-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed.
Feb 19 15:45:31 Dark-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed.
Feb 19 16:10:19 Dark-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed.


What I did after:

  • run Disk Utility - all ok
  • reinstall mac os from scratch on erased partition
  • run OnyX - its not found any problem
  • run DiskTools Pro - its can't found any problem (no bads block or other)


I run XBench HDD test with follows result:

I got the same issue. One week before, my macbookpro suddently became very slow. I tried to re-image it. It took me more than 10 hour finishing it. I know there must be something wrong.

And after re-image, it even slower than beofore re-imaged. But in HDD tool, no error. Finally, I took out the HDD, Toshiba MK7559GSXF, and downloaded a tool from toshiba, and got I/O error.

I changed replaced it with a SSD, everything back to normal.

I am not sure why it would happen. It seems to be Toshiba HDD issue.
