I bought a 500GB Toshiba external hard drive for 60€ and formatted it to EXT4. After a few days it broke and I got a new one. Now after formatting it is constantly writing (like my old one and HTOP shows 60-160% IO and iostat TPS 1.00). I restarted my Raspberry Pi 5 a little later and the HDD continued to make noises as if something was being written to it and the Raspberry Pi 5 took about 5 minutes to boot up then it automatically restarted and then I could connect with SSH again??
Why is the hard drive behaving so strangely? I only noticed this with the Raspberry Pi 5 and never before ... I hope the hard drive doesn't break like my last one
I hope someone can help me and tell me what is happening![:|]( "Neutral")
