Toshiba DT01ACA050 500GB Capacity, 32MB Buffer, 600Mbps SATA III Hard Drive

Product Information

Personally I think the Toshiba hard drives are the poorest ever offered and don't be so sure that it really passed any tests because they have been known to pass failed drives. However it is easy enough to change cables and try drive on another system just by plugging into a higher number sata port on another desktop. Did Seatools testing, it had a hard time reading aswell and the result was "Short DST - fail", but i'm unable to find any more information about it.

You should disable sector reallocation event with ARRE option, but i can't remember if MRT has such option. If i remember well, mrt does have SUPER OFF option, it might help to speed up cloning process, if all this will not help than most likely your drive had weak heads.Since you still have access to the hard drive, I recommend performing a backup of your important files ASAP. These desktop drives are halogen-free, demonstrating Toshiba Coporation's golbal commitment to Environmentally Conscious Products (ECPs) that have minimal environmental impact.

Any idea what could cause this problem, and show short DST failure with my computer but not with another ? It's possible that the hard drive is failing, especially with the Short DST - fail and slow read speeds.
