This time it's 2. Both are about the same

These are Seagate ST3000NM0035's

Looks like they've been sitting, spinning and doing nothing else for almost 4 years.

No, this is what easily done by cleaning write/read statistics with the help of sg_logs -R It even works on sas ssd drives, doesn't clear endurance wear level counter though.

That explains it. Thanks.

I have a factory "Clipped" 4TB HD that registers as a 3TB. The label says it's a 4TB. Would you happen to know if SG_Utils will restore it to it's full capacity?

Update on the clipped HD. There's a program called HDAT2 that's supposed to be able to remove the clip. I could not get it to see the HD. In desperation I emailed the author and he replied that the program can't work with SAS yet. So I'm stuck with a 4TB labeled HD that's really a 3TB HD. I'll just have to live with it. Seems that "Factory Clipped" aren't very common. This is the first time I've ever heard of it.
