High read and write errors on brand new Seagate Barracuda 256MB cache

[snadge]

hi all (solved!)

I have on older PC with :

i5 3470 @ 3.6Ghz x 4 cores
12Gb DDR3 RAM @ 1333Mhz
Intel Q series 8 motherboard (replaced from a Gigabyte H77M-D3H rev1.0 mobo with both BIOS's broke)
1Gb Nvidia GTX 650 on PCIe x16 v 3.0
250Gb Samsung EVO 860 SSD (no read or write errors - just a small amount of moving cells to new ones which normal for an MLC SSD that's 7 years old - wear levelling i believe its called)
2TB Western Digital HDD with 64Mb cache (no read or write errors at all and is about 3-4 years old)
2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD with 256Mb Cache (3-4 weeks old and a lot of read and write errors - also the drive is picked up as an SSD one some defrag or optimization apps due to the large 256Mb cache)

should i rteurn this drive?

thanks

sent it back..getting a WD black 5200rpm as advised by someone else as , it has a 5yr GT compared to 2yr GT on the Seagate...says it all - ill never by Seagate ever again as they have failed me in the past.
