Some Seagate hard drive owners might receive firmware errors? - 2009/01/21 19:35
Hi, I found on the Internet that some of the Seagates hard disk firmware may have errors. From the Seagate knowledge base it states that a number of Seagate hard drives from the following families may become inaccessible when the host system is powered on.
Seagate Hard Drive Families... - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 Series - Seagate DiamondMax 22 Series - Seagate Barracuda ES.2 Series
Once a drive has become affected the data becomes inaccessible to users but the data is not deleted. Seagate has isolated this issue to a firmware bug affecting drives from these families manufactured through December 2008. Now, if you have one of the affected products, and if your drive is affected, Seagate recommend that you update the firmware on the disk drive to prevent this condition. Just so you know and check the Seagate knowledge base for more information.
