PC-3000 Forum

Hello.
I have case WD15EARX-00PASB0. Disk start almost correctly. The name is ok but instead 1.5TB presents itself as a 500 GB.
These 500 GB is normally available.
I have no ideas on this hdd.

Perhaps someone set an HPA on the drive. Do you have PC-3000?

Thank you for quick reply.
Yes, I have PC-3000. Nobody set an HPA... it's my own old hdd. I set manually max lba, wrote to SA and supposedly is ok.

I know I've at times used the set LBA function to make a bigger destination drive match the size of the drive I cloned to it. For some encryption systems you actually need to do that. Perhaps you did that and forgot?

I used this disk to store old tasks. I changed anything there. Maybe something mixed up with age

AdasRip, if it's an old drive, the system heads can die slowly, and they can write the wrong data into the SA. It's not safe to use this drive for important data storage I suppose
