Tune shows calibration error— should I replace the drive? up vote 2 down vote favorite I just bought a brand new Seagate 1TB "Backup Plus" external USB 3.0 drive, and in running some diagnostics, HD Tune is showing a "calibration retry count" warning as shown in this screen grab. Every other test I've run on the drive seems to indicate that it's fine; a full error scan shows no damaged blocks, etc. google acronis smart I'm frankly a bit out of my depth here; is the HD Tune error something to be concerned about? Is it worth replacing the drive? I'm on a ThinkPad W520 Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks for any feedback here. windows-7 hard-drive usb hd-tune share|improve this question edited Sep 29 '14 at 6:59 Franck Dernoncourt 4,660123791 asked Sep 4 '13 at 4:05 nickpish 143116 You do have the option of using another SMART software. Download the acronis one for free (Google Acronis SMART) and see if it reports the same. If so, take it back! If not, then it could be interpretation by the software, false positive etc. –Dave Sep 4 '13 at 11:04 I wouldn't take it back. I would do a warranty claim. I would run the Seagate Tool, if it detects an error, just make a wrranty claim. If we are talking about yesterday, yeah, go ahead and just return it. –Ramhound Sep 4 '13 at 12:45 Dave-- thanks for the recommendation; I ran Acronis Drive Monitor and it found nothing wrong with the drive and reports no SMART issues. Ramhound-- I'll try the Seagate Tool as well; perhaps what I'm seeing in HD Tune is just a false positive of some kind? I'm also frankly uncert

Started by alike, August 6, 2013 3 posts in this topic alike 1 Member Member 1 4 http://superuser.com/questions/640689/hd-tune-shows-calibration-error-should-i-replace-the-drive posts Location:Bulgaria Posted August 6, 2013 · Report post I've written to Seagate support about this, but still no anwer from them, so I've decided that somebody here can help me. I've just bought a new Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB drive and when looking at the SMART attributes, there was a warning about the "Calibration Retry Count", value=3. Could somebody explain what exactly does that stand for? I've noticed that only HDTune http://forums.storagereview.com/index.php?/topic/34781-0b-calibration-retry-count-warning-in-smart/ (tried it on ver. 5.0 and ver. 5.5) reported that as a warning. Other programs (like HDDScan, CrystalDiskInfo, AIDA64) say the value is normal and there is no warning. Here is a screenshot from HDDScan for example: Should I try to rma the drive? I've tested it with HDDScan surface test and Seagate Seatools and it didn't report any errors, but I'm still a little bit concerned with that "Calibration Retry Count" warning.

A decrease of this attribute value is a sign of problems in the hard disk mechanical subsystem. If its a new drive and within the return window I'd probably exchange it. Otherwise its really hard to say if it will cause any meaningful problems or not.
