2. That can mean many things but the 3 most likely are a dirty/bad disc, a defective drive, or bad power/SATA connection.
4. Never seen a drive start getting errors after it finished a backup; strange.
5. No it's not the sleep bug, that only happens when the drive is idle and then you tried to read it; it will not happen when during a backup.
6. idk again I have seen about 8 defective drives sometimes they were fine others they would fail.
I think I learned my lesson re: decrypting, but my first idea was to make a bit-for-bit copy to try and test writing to a blank disc and see if the (still-encrypted) copy would play in my CA CXUHD player.
I think I can rule out dirty/bad disc or defective drive given my results in #2. I have the drive in an OWC external enclosure and it's quite nice, so I doubt it's a bad connection either.
As far as the
Code: Select all
Error 'Scsi error - HARDWARE ERROR:TIMEOUT ON LOGICAL UNIT' occurred while reading 'BD-RE HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS55 1.02' at offset 'NNNNNN'I discovered much later (and to my horror) that the blue access light was still blinking on the drive. No idea why. I ejected the disc and it was very warm to the touch - so I left the drive door open for awhile to let the excess heat escape. Hoping none of the internal drive components got fried from the heat!
Needless to say, I'm removing all discs as soon as the backup is finished from now on ...
Well I guess I'll just have to hope this drive is fine more often than it fails ... just wanted to make sure I wasn't making some n00b mistake.
