2TB Hard Disk Fills Up During Installation


EuroFight

Recommended Posts

I have a problem with my 2TB hard drive. Sometimes, during installs, the system will become unresponsive and, when checking the hard disk in 'Computer', it shows the HDD having less than 1GB of free space.

 

If the page is refreshed the HDD can be seen to be filling up from 1.67TB to less than 1GB free, then back to 1.67TB, when the system becomes responsive again.

 

Has anyone experienced this before, and should I RMA the drive?

 

Cheers

It's tough to tell if it's a HDD problem or software problem. How long does it go unresponsive for? 

 

Also for fun, try installing Treesize to see what is filling up your HDD

Only a short period of time - less than a minute.

 

Oh it might be useful to note that the drive is new and passes SMART and SeaTools tests.
