Hi MrMazda,

If I type

Code:

sudo smartctl -x /dev/sdb

the terminal shows what I posted earlier, nothing else.

I'm typing something wrong?

I suppose a long test has never been run on that Seagate, and needs to be done before 'smartctl -x /dev/sdb' will provide the additional details. So, try 'smartctl -t long /dev/sdb', then wait the indicated time before running 'smartctl -x /dev/sdb' to get a full report. I just started one on my ST32000542AS, and have to wait 423 minutes for it to complete.

Thanks Mrmazda!

But when I try

Code:

sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sdb

terminal said:

Code:

Read SMART Data failed: scsi error badly formed scsi parameters

All the errors shown in this thread suggest it's time to retire that nearly 12 year old ST31000528AS.

Thanks for your help, I was trying to save the data inside, but they are already gone
