Hmm, my guess is the 'board on the drive. Run your tests then switch motherboard connections, repeat the tests/check for a different port# erroring in logs? Also try some new SATA cables and different power connections from the PSU.


Looks like chkdsk's repair broke a number of programs and some big files too.


EDIT: I don't think the Seagate tests are aimed at the motherboard controller, pretty sure it's the drive - but could it be the drive electronics rather than the physical platter - I'm unsure.


Could you connect it to a Marvell or JRaid to check?
