Here's where the weirdness gets weirder! Now, BOTH drives report a size of 3950MB in chkdsk ! When I swapped the electronics back, it did go back to the original report, his showing 3950MB and mine 2794GB. I thought it seemed like an electronics problem, so swapped over the electronics board of both drives.

In Windows, chkdsk reports it as being 3950MB rather than the 2794GB it should be.įunnily enough, I also have a Diskstation, four disks, which originally had the same disks in, but one I'd replaced because it was beginning to fail. It's a Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB SATA 3.5', originally sold in a Synology DS112j. Now, after seven years of service, it's gone wrong. Ī friend of mine didn't realise that hard drives go wrong, so he put all his life's photos on his single drive Synology. This is such a strange problem, I just don't know where to start, so I'm really hoping someone out there may have some inspiration.
