Problems with SSHD drives and High Sierra
@danj I'm still having a lot of problems with customers coming in with Seagate SSHD drives that have updated to High Sierra. Some are the older Seagate drives and some the FireCuda drives. How should these drives be treated or fixed?
The latest came in today and the drive would not format at all except for the 128 GB Boot camp partition. The rest of the drive does not show up. Disk Utilities would do the 128 (which was MS DOS Fat into APFS) it also will not go back to another format. Tech Tools Pro 10 failed at partition repair. I am trying my first install and Time Machine restoration with Mojave.
This problem has quickly become my #1 problem and I am not getting it fixed. I wipe the drives, do a full fresh install of High Sierra, get it all set up and it’s running fine, for a month or two and then they are back in the shop.
Is this a good question?
