I have been lately experiencing this issue in way too many cases which makes me think this is some kind of new failure mode. Basically especially large-size drives (2+ TB, but also seen that for 250GB 2.5" drive too) read the whole surface fine, but when writing to it, at aprox. 2/3 the surface, likely after reaching a particular sector, they just shut down. After power cycling them they appear to work fine, but the same happens if I write to them again.
Cuting the rotten space off by partition and using only the first 2/3rds of the total capacity appears to work.
So what the heck is this?
