This is a follow-up to my question Is it normal for a SATA drive to show 0MB size in BIOS?

Motherboard is P7P55D-E PRO using AMIBIOS The drive is bran-new, just out of it's anti-static packaging from the retailer

The output from SeaTools is as below

Detected device on Generic PCI ATA

Model_Id: ST_M13FQBL Revision: 0110113

Short Test failed - recommended Long Test Long Test failed.

Log output output reads as follows

48 Bit addressed (Capacity 4.142 GB) Supports Security Features SMART Supported and Enabled SMART not tripped DST not supported Logging not supported POH0 Current Temp 0

HDAT2 shows a size of 4.142 GB

So my question is ... why does the 500GB size get reported as 0MB/4.142GB?

looks like some test are failing... could the drive be bad or going bad? – Justin808 Apr 30 '11 at 16:51
Its a new drive - just out of it's anti-static cover – Everyone Apr 30 '11 at 16:55
If the drive had been dropped, it might been defective even if the cover and bag seems intact. Look like you might consider changing your retailer. – Turbo J May 1 '11 at 3:25
