Steps
- Boot into maintenance mode.
- If you have console access, you can boot into maintenance mode by rebooting the device, pressing "m" when prompted and quickly typing "maint" followed by hitting the enter key.
- In maintenance mode:
- Go to Diagnostics.
- Enter maintenance password: MA1NT
- Go to Test Disk Performance and hit Enter.
Once the test is done, it will report the test results to the console. This is a good test to ensure the HDD is not having read/write issues.
