I have a Seagate 5TB USB 3.0 external drive, recently I was getting some I/O errors, a few times I got an 1117 error.
I swapped out the cable, changed USB ports, and swapped out the power adapter and now everything seems to be working perfectly. It completely passed a full error scan in HD Tune Pro, as well as error scans in SeaTools. SMART reports all fine, except for some high temps.
I've moved everything off that I wasn't comfortable losing.
Should I trust the tests? Has anyone ever seen I/O errors with a bad cable or possibly a bad USB port?
