High level of Seagate 2.5" SATA drives failing


Recommended Posts

I am receiving about two of these drives daily. (Momentus 5400.2)

 

Without exception, they are manufactured in China, and have firmware 7.01. Also, they are all out of Mac computers.

 

Is anyone else coming across these? Has anyone successfully managed to repair one?

Is the failure software related ( Boot sector stuff) or hardware ( wont spin up )?

We have had a bunch of 40GB, 2.5 INCH, MK4025GAS from Toshiba go and I cant even rip the Filesystem with DBAN.. I think the larger 2.5's just cant dissipate the heat well enough and it kills them.
