Hey all.
I've contacted the BD people and obtained a ticket, but it'd be really great if anyone else experienced this sort of problem ( - [edit] you know what i mean
). I'm actually scanning a folder on a 3 TB drive (WD30EFRX - one of the red ones) that contains about 1.5Tb of miscellaneous data (think multiple backups of windows /users/ folders...).
On a new w8.1-64 system, it simply cannot finish the scan without crashing (win logs indicate vsserv.exe and scan.dll problems). Happens regardless of whether it's in usb caddy or directly attached.
Just tried it on a w7-64 system and 'the service encountered an error - restart it' etc. Very odd. No other av products, hdd itself tests ok, memory is ok.
There's very little the same between these two systems except that
1) both are gigabyte motherboards (old Z68X and new - though chea.p - H81M).
2) the 3TB drive itself.
3) both systems are 64-bit windows flavours
Is it possible for something like an antivirus to 'dislike' one of WD's red nas hdds? I don't see people complaining about crashing here on the boards, so i already know this sort of thing isn't common...
Any input or ideas would be welcome.
