It looks like the SMART self test has been aborted before the end (90%
remaining). There is a short one and a long one. You might want to run
the long one (Extended self-test routine recommended polling time:
( 70) minutes.).
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining
LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Aborted by host 90%
166 -
# 2 Extended offline Aborted by host 90%
166 -
If the drive passes the extended SMART test, then switch to another
cable and investigate the BIOS settings as Bernd suggested. Running
SMART doesn't cause any significant command or data transfer between the
controller and the drive, so SMART can succeed with a bad cable or DMA
setting. Check your power supply, bigger drives need more power and
start failing when under stress (head movements). I have a 300GB that
stopped spinning after 4 months, somehow the power supply is suddenly
not enough...
You might want to download the SEAGATE test utility, if it runs on your
platform, it is tailored to the Seagate drives.
