Looks like I've killed the bearings on the SP PD-8 I've was running on my 29er. Laced up in and in a truing stand it wouldn't even manage 1 1/2 rotations.
Dynamo hubs in general have quite a lots of resistant, I'll have a look at mine.
They have slightly more resistant than my SON hubs.

So is it a case of stripping the hub out of the wheel and sending back to the factory? Do you think anything else would have faired much better and would it have been worth it (I only ask as I'm about to buy the same hub) How many miles do you think you got out of that?
edit: realised that post was months old. What happened in the end, how long did it take to get back?

I assume it was the two very wet trips to Wales this summer even though I'm sure I managed to keep it out of all those well over axle deep puddles and river crossings... Thankfully LBS and distro are sorting everything. Checked the one I have on the road/cross bike and that's still spinning well! Phew!
