Running GParted gives me an error that says
fsyncing/closing dev/sdb: input/output error
Using Gnome Disk Utility under the assessment section it says
Disk is OK, one bad sector
Clicking to format it to EXT4 I’m getting a message that says
Error formatting volume
Error wiping device: Failed to probe the device ‘dev/SDB’ (udisks-error-quark, 0)
Running sudo smartctl -a /dev/SDB I get a few messages that all say
… SCSI error badly formed scsi parameters
In terms of the physical side I’ve swapped out the SATA data and power cable with the same results.
Any suggestions?
Amazon has a decent return policy so I’m not incredibly concerned but if I can avoid that hassle it would nice.
