Question about Seagate IronWolf
Hopefully someone here can help me out. I have bought 2 of the plate and can't get them both to work correctly. I have already tested them on 3 PCs. PC1 (WHS2011): Hard disk was not recognised correctly. Everything is displayed in the bios, but they are not displayed under Windows under data medium management. PC2 (Windows 10): Hard disks were recognised and data could be loaded onto them. However, with larger data, the Explorer hangs and access to the hard drive is only possible again after a restart. PC3 (Windows Server 2019 Standard): Hard disks were recognised, but every time I try to transfer data to them I get a blue screen with the message (System Service Exception) immediately or within 2-3 minutes. Since the problem is with both disks, I would have guessed less of a defect. The disks were picked up because I have had bad experiences with postal shipping and HDDs. Can the hard disks be returned to DIgitec without any problems? To be honest, I don't want to spend any more hours testing, so I'd rather buy another hard disk.... I've already invested at least 10 hours trying to get the hard drives to work.
I also had problems with it, very loud and slow in the NAS, then I removed it again and wanted to delete the data, but the hard drives were not recognised and could not be read correctly on a Mac. I'm still trying to do it on the PC, but it's very tedious. I don't want to waste any more hours with this rubbish and will return them. My motto for the future is: Stay away from Seagate.
There is a right of return, this is visible in the customer contact, under Record return, if this is no longer available, a return is only possible in the case of a defect.10% of the purchase price will be deducted, however, if the packaging has been opened.
About your problem:
It's quite possible that the HDD has a defect, I also had one once, but it's not unusual.
Since you have used it on several systems, a Hw error or defect is probably ruled out.
I used the HDDś in a Synology NAS 1515+ until now without failure.
