Failing Laptop Drive [FUJITSU MHV2080BH PL] Need Replacement
January 30th, 2020
? I want to stick to main manufacturers Western Digital & Seagate so can you recommend some drives.. ideally 7200RPM with 750GB to 1TB of storage capacity and maybe even a high cache 64GB instead of 32GB ? FUJITSU MHV2080BH PL ATA Device
HD Tune Pro & SpeedFan reports lots of problems with Reallocated Sector Count, Reallocated Event Count and Current Pending Sector yet benchmarking the read speed seems fine. I should also note that laptop makes lots of noise although I think that is the psu/cpu fan as it kicks in and out frequently This is unrelated but I’m also experiencing issues with Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB HDD. I’ve only had for 1 year or 2 yet I’m getting real slow read speeds of around 20MB/s (External USB2 HDD) with 14 Current Pending Sectors and an internal 2TB HDD which also has slow read speeds with high reports of Interface CRC Error Counts.. Currently it’s disappeared/offline so not sure if it’s issue with sata cable but I swaped them around last night so disk drive with high CRC Erro Count use to be in my external my book enclosure.
Both of the disk drives I’m having issues with originally came shipped in the Western Digital My Book Live Nas enclosure but I formatted them and used internally. I’m pretty sure they’re regular WD Caviar Greens except they’re Sata 3 (6.0GB/s) where as my other internal is Sata 2.6 (3.0Gb/s)
I have 5 x 2TB Western Digital Caviar Greens in total. 2 Internal, 1 External in WD My Book (Non network drive) & 2 in NAS (WD My Book Live) set in raid 1 mirror.. currently all disk drives are synched with the same data as I’ve only had them for 1 year due to warranty deal with Western Digital as a prior 2x2TB caviar green drives failed. I think they’re disposable throw away one time use drives. They’re not in warranty either as I had 2x 4TB Nas units imported from America to UK Thanks
EU laws dictate that as a consumer you have the right to 2 years of guarantee (warranty is missused, that’s somethin else) esp with shopping abroad. Don’t know if the EU law will apply since the items are imported (doubt it will) but ya could give it a shot
