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.

Thanks for sharing, and I read about that last week that those lovely nice new 1TB hard drive had this issue and that some users lost some data as the drive was no longer accessible. Well actually didn't lost the data really but still users couldn't access their drivers any longer. Though the link has been removed to the knowledge base as Seagate is neither doing us any favors.
