Driver detected a controller error

  • 772

We have a Server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with an external HDD (1TB) for backup purposes. The external HDD is fine and working but I wonder every week I got an error saying

"The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk3\DR15."

I've already updated the driver for the said HDD and it says its running the updated driver for it.

Should I worry and get a new HDD as replacement for this?

Your thoughts please.

Thanks

backup

  1. You can check if you have an exclamation points/error icons in Device Manager. To get to Device Manager: Log in as an administrative user -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager.

    Quite possibly you might have to replace your HDD.
