I have a WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 that passes a smart test and passes the short test but it fails on the long test with an error 08-Too many bad sectors detected.
Once the format/zero/read hits the bad sectors the drive shuts down.
How do I find out if the drive is still under warranty so I can get it fixed.
Here is a copy and paste from the report.
