Bruce -
First, I'd like to thank you for your prompt reply.
Second, I had the drive entirely unmounted. I should
have clarified this. As such, the captive test was
failing with repeated host resets with the drive
completely unmounted. To verify this I repeated the
test with the drive in captive mode and all partitions
unmounted and the results were the same - several
attempts, all failing at 30% remaining for the short
test and 10% for the long test.
I repeated the tests while not captive and received a
clean bill of health.
Does this fact make any difference in your advice?
Thanks for any help you can give.
