Hi

I launched "long drive self-test" with the HP PC Hardware Diagnostic and the result is "failed". Details of the log are:

TestVersion = 1.2.0.0
TestId = 50d4829e-e790-45af-a721-c944b7126928
Instance = Archiviazione 2: WDC WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0
StartTime = 2021-05-07T17:51:16
ExecutionDuration = 00:05:28
Result = ExecutionFailed
ErrorCode = 306
FailureId = MCTS1D-6PDAKX-X87SWK-61KH13
==================================================
LongDST failed: WDC WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0, WD-WCC1S6623981 The previous self-test completed having a test element that failed and the test element that failed is not known (0x4).
 
Could someone help me...
 
thanks
Andrea

Hello
the hard drive is defective
It can continue to operate for a certain time, but it can definitively break down, if it is not already the case!
If possible, save personal data
Try a full reinstall
Be careful even if it works, it may permanently break down, save the data regularly.
This may allow you to use the computer while you find a hard drive!

Sorry, but too complicated to give you a link
But look, as I explain in the tutorial
If this is the dd in question, the reference is already given by you:
LongDST failed: WDC WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0
Simply search with this reference!
if not, you can normally use any equivalent hdd
You could even try to install ONE SSD drive
