Code: ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) ata4.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INITDEVPARAMS failed, errmask=0x80) ata4: COMRESET failed (device not ready) ata4: hardreset failed, retrying in 5 secs ata4: COMRESET failed (device not ready) ata4: hardreset failed, retrying in 5 secs ata4: COMRESET failed (device not ready) ata4: reset failed, giving upThe Controller used is a Silicon Image SataLink SIL3114CTU The Drive is somehow identified at leas as 'Link up', but with SStatus 113 SControl 310 then Fails To be Identified. I used the SEA Tool to check if I can identify the Drive with that (unfortunately only Bootable DOS environment) But the SEA Tool could not even identify the SATA Controller (I have ordered a new one with VIA Chipset now to test again) What Confuses me is, that the Drive does not spin up. Either it is still in the Suspend Mode, and will not come up from that (I do not have any other explanation, since its Two Drives with the same failure. I mean it would just not happen that Two Drives would fail a Harddrive Dead at the same moment. Nothing else happened at that time).

Or it has a Damage somehow. Has Someone Experiences with Maxtor Drives Maybe.

Forexample Can I use the Electronic from the Diamond Max10 6V320V0 In the 6V320FO. Maybe it will help to recover the data at minimum. AHs Someone any Other Ideas about, what could there have been happening. And How I Maybe will be able to make the Drive Spin Up again. Since the Controller has some connection to the Drive electronic. Are there Tools to read out what The Drive Controller says.

There must be some sort of Error Code somewhere, to get more information about whats going on in the drive. And Why the motor is not spinning. I woould do a hdparm -s 0 /dev/sda If I would be able to detect the Drive. My Goal is at least to recover the Data on the Drives. Whereas the Maxtor Drive is the most important one. Thats why Iam only talking about that one.

But Iam looking for Solutions for The WD Drive as well. Does someone Know more about those type of failures??? Xth, How old are the problematic drives in question?

Have you tried connecting these drives to a different PC's power supply? If the drives are not spinning and not being recognized - then the drive(s) are either DEAD or their not getting power.

If the drives are being recognized, but NOT spinning, then either the bearings/motor is dead or there is some power saving feature that's now allowing them to spin up. Generally, when you connect a drive to a power source - WITHOUT connecting the data (IDE or SATA) interface, the drives SHOULD start spinning. If you've ruled out a lack of power as being the issue with drives that are not recognized nor spinning up - it's safe to say that the drive(s) in question are dead. If the drive is recognized, but refuses to spin up - it's possible, in some cases, to open the case of the drive and give the spindle a nudge to get it spinning again. This can allow you to get the data off the drive - but once you've done so - don't attempt to use the drive as opening up the case exposes the platters and heads to dust - which is going to damage the drive. There are professional services that can recover data from dead drives - but they don't come cheaply. As far as 'consumer' drives go - I've had both good and very bad experiences with Seagate, Western Digital and Maxtor brands over the years.

In general - if a drive lasts more than 2 years - consider yourself lucky. Sometimes you can get 3-5 years out of a drive - but this is not the norm. I've had very good luck with IBM, Hitachi and Fujitsu drives - more so than the other 3 consumer brands I mentioned earlier.

If you require absolute reliability - I would go with a hardware RAID solution. Eventually, I think we'll see hard drives become obsolete. Any component with motors or moving parts is going to eventually wear out and die. With flash storage technology becoming smaller, faster and cheaper - I foresee a day when hard drives will be replaced with completely solid-state storage devices.

Until then - we're going to have to live with good old hard drives. S Enable/disable the power-on in standby feature, if supported by the drive. VERY DANGEROUS.

Do not use unless you are abso‐ lutely certain that both the system BIOS (or firmware) and the operating system kernel (Linux = 2.6.22) support probing for drives that use this feature. When enabled, the drive is powered-up in the standby mode to allow the controller to sequence the spin-up of devices, reducing the instantaneous current draw burden when many drives share a power supply. Primarily for use in large RAID setups. This feature is usually disabled and the drive is powered-up in the active mode (see -C above).

Note that a drive may also allow enabling this feature by a jumper. Some SATA drives support the control of this feature by pin 11 of the SATA power connector. In these cases, this command may be unsupported or may have no effect. I was considering enabling this for my drive, but thanks to your tale of woe I have decided strongly against it. I guess the warning in the man page really is legitimate, and not just there to scare people.
