Hello,
a Quick Scan with Western Digital Data Life gaurd diagnostic tool sends this error after 4 seconds.
"Quick test on drive2 did not complete!
Status code=04 (unknown failed test element), Failure checkpoint=96 (Unknown test)
SMART self-test did not complete on drive 2
what does this mean & what should I do to repair it?

smart will catch a percent of drive failures, when smart tells you the drive failed, don't try to fix it, it is 100% certain that the drive is broken and needs replacing.

Hi Errefae,

Have you tried running the full scan? It may take much longer but it is highly recommended. Unfortunately, those codes you've received could mean that the drive is failing. Do you still have access to the drive? If you do, backup all your data and think about getting a new drive. If the drive is still under warranty, contact the reseller and get a replacement.

Hope this helps
