More than 2 weeks later I got a reply

Dear Customer,

In reference to your hdd issue, We suggest to low-level format the hdd and then format your drive.

This would initialized your partition.

We suggest to contact Samsung technical support 1-800-726-7864 for further assistance.


Thank you for choosing Samsung.

Since I've been using my HDD for more than 2 weeks, low-level formatting is exactly what I need
