Seagate Seatools

[Dragoon42]

anyone know why when I try to run smart test it says "unavailable" I'm running seatools for window.

My hdd also fails the DST but passes the generic. Should I be worried?

also smart is enabled in motherboard bios

See what the S.M.A.R.T. tab in Speedfan says.

Or run MHDD or HDD Scan (both on the following site)

SMART is not available on NVidia motherboards with 64-bit nForce drivers.

Is this your platform...?

no

i'm running gigabyte 965p ds3,

i'll try the programs mentioned above.

It's really wierd, coz this hdd stopped working on me (it would read, write, really slow. Windows took 1 minute to get past windows load screen), just out of the blue. I stopped using this drive like 2 weeks ago. I decided to try to plug it into the gigabyte sata controller, and now it works fine? WTF?

It fails the DST test, but passes the generic test

When I had a Seagate drive giving me the click of death I ran the Seagate SMART tool. It claimed the drive was healthy. I had previously run a 3rd party tool which had flagged some errors and issues, so I called Seagate, thy asked me to run their tool and stated that as 'their' tool said all was fine then there was no issue with the drive.

Two days later it died. :|
