Hard drive problem (it is important for me to find out the cause)

Question

Iron

Situation: "server" is a floor standing computer of a recumbent form factor. Hard lay inside the case. The "server" worked without fail for 2 months. Today, all Wirth. input/output error machines.
The hypervisor also has a read-only system.

I turned off the computer, I took out the hard one - and it was spinning strongly (from side to side) in my hands (like a body under the influence of a magnet).

I care about the reason for this. This is the second time. The first time that hard died.

What can I do now besides backups and what in the case can cause this damage to the hard?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If it vibrates, then the pancake (pancakes) has shifted, probably only a fall or a constant, not frail vibration can cause this, although I have never seen such a nikod. If the pancake really shifted, then how is the hard readable at all? What to do ... You can try to disassemble it in a non-dusty place and put the pancake in place, but there is very little chance that it will work after that. For the future, mount the hard drive properly and eliminate vibrations, and of course, don’t drop the screws and don’t kick the server while calling Cthulhu ... :)

Answer 2

Photo of the insides of the server in the studio

Answer 3

maybe your shaft is shattered, maybe troubles (you need to check, make a backup first), check the voltage of the PSU as well

Answer 4

Hard Seagate 1500 Gb. Cooler did not install.

Answer 5

I think the support will help you find out why this happens - they test their screws with all sorts of tricky loads, for sure this has already manifested itself somewhere.

Answer 6

was it really cowardly from side to side? or was it difficult for you to change its position in space (that is, you somehow turn it, but it resists turning)?
If the latter, then watch the video: galileo-tv.ru/node/2231 . It is normal that a rotating screw behaves inappropriately (relative to a non-rotating one). Unless, of course, it vibrates a lot.

Answer 7

could be pressed down during installation once and the bearing began to fall apart. or in the server something presses on a cover of the screw.
can you write in more detail about "strongly spun from side to side, as if under the influence of a magnet"? How long after the server shutdown did this happen?

Answer 8

An HP server also came to us, and it’s good that I always try to make backups using the method
“once a week, remove the screw from the server and insert it into your desktop, vacuuming the insides.”
So, when taking it out, it turned out that the screw was simply inserted into the basket and not screwed in any way.
He even talked very, very much. If it had hung like that for 2 months, the vibration would have killed the screw for sure.
In short, I looked at the device of the sled and did not find another way of fastening, except to cover
the screw on one side with cardboard, I know this will lead to overheating, I had to install an additional cooler
so that the air goes directly to the screw. Now the temperature is +37, the flight is normal. I continue to watch.
By the way, I was surprised that HP has Samsung screws, is this supposed to save on matches? =)
Or already put on the principle of anything, if only not Seagate?
