These old Seagates are amazing, especially the .7, .9, .10, .14 series units. The .14 series, if it is the version with only one plate, are usually very reliable, those that equip 2 disks are no longer so reliable. There are also the 1TB ones (1SB102 and 2EP102) (Both are series 14) that are...

Another update on the health status of my 1BD142, there is nothing relevant in terms of health, he is still in shape, and in hours, this year he will do 100,000 hours, and I hope he continues to do many more.

Wow, a Seagate 10 series one platter and one head, they are very reliable!! I consider the 10 series and the 1BD142 one of the most reliable that Seagate has created. The other day a co-worker gave me his tower so that I could clone the disk and put it on his new PC, and when I see the Smart, I...

Yes haha. When it got to 0 I thought, I'm going to sell it like new XDD. Surely if I sell it more than one would think it's new, that HDD is incredible. 90,000h is approaching, the motor bearing does not sound, nor do the heads show signs of abnormal sounds, it seems that it came out of the box...

And it continues to live, it is incredible how hard this hard drive is, and these last few days it has been storing torrents of more than 50GB, moving many files and it continues here as if nothing had happened. Then the Server's monitor, a Philips with a CCFL tube, in the VCP already shows...

Last Sunday he decided not to turn it on anymore, and it turned out that 2 Nichicon capacitors couldn't take it anymore, the poor guys, almost 60,000h worked next to a mosfet at high temperatures, and on top of that, put in a cabinet working over 36 degrees of ambient. I swapped them out, and...

It's called Gsmartcontrol, It is without a doubt the best open source SMART reporting program, you can also read the errors that a HDD stored in the error tab.

Still alive! It refuses to die, let's see if it can get past 100,000h, and if it does, I'll keep using it until I say enough.

It's corious that my monitor's CCFL tube is lasting much longer than average. I believe that the long durability is thanks to its very good quality inverter, it probably achieves a stable arc without severely damaging the cold cathodes and it does not wear out the mercury, phosphorus quickly.

I have a Philips 200WB monitor that shows 54,000 hours of use, it already looks a bit yellowish, but it still has a good brightness. Of course, the screen has a red vertical line, but it does not affect its operation. The only thing I had to do was change the capacitors. Here is an old...

@SamirD The reset just happened, I am very sad :'(, although in the WORST value it continues to subtract, so it is an indicator that the HDD continues to accumulate hours, but the hour counter was reset. The reset was done at 78183h. But it is not completely lost, in flight hours the head...

Yes, unfortunately, I hope mine doesn't happen to him, but I don't think he's saved from the error :(.

Yes, Indeed, it is a ATA parallel port, I also have a 160GB Maxtor 7200.10 series Parallel ATA that has 65,000h, but I have not connected it for a long time, one day I will plug it in and I will give you a screenshot. I have discovered a terrible bug in the 1BD142 series units, when they reach...

these are mine, the 120GB I retired because it was already starting to fail, the 500GB continues to go without problems. In case anyone is interested, I leave the hours that the crystal disk was counting (The Crystal disk generates LOG of all the parameters), I always leave the program open to...
