HDD compatibility and Raw read error rates on "Seagate 4TB SSHD SATA hybrid
Before I send these HDD's back ..Dabs.com have agreed to swap them.
I wanted to get an opinion on this issue here..in case there is no issue.
Just installed two x Seagate 4TB Desktop SSHD SATA 6GB/s 64MB 3.5" 8GB SSD Cache hybrid drives on my Mac Pro 3,1
Model number of the drives is ST4000DX001-1CE168. both came form same order from same batch of drives.I have contacted Seagate and they have said there is no know issue with these drives
My boot drive is a OCZ-Vertex2 SSD
the fourth drive is a WDC Caviar Green 2TB.
The 'issue' I am having with the new 4TB drives is reports I am getting from a third party app. "Trim Enabler" :
http://www.cindori.org/software/trimenabler/
Trim Enabler is reading and showing the Smart Attributes from all the drives..although it is an app for SSD 'trimming'
Both the new 4TB drives in Trim Enabler are reporting exceedingly high "Raw read Error Rates" where as the other drives, (SSD and Caviar Green) both report zero Raw read error rates.
Both drives show about 250 hours of total power on usage and error rate figures of 104483024 and 20324056 no units given...and as I said, the other two drives show zero in these fields.
To me this indicates a problem...but ??
