[fw] Seagate 7200.11 hard disk firmware upgrade
Are you affected?
Welcome, Seagate hard drive owners. A number of Seagate hard drives from the following families may become inaccessible when the host system is powered on: Barracuda 7200.11 DiamondMax 22 Barracuda ES.2 SATA 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. http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/cr...931&NewLang=en -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

ST3500320AS http://support.seagate.com/firmware/...-8-16-32MB.ISO I noticed in one forum post that someone referred to the different firmware versions as applying to drives with 2 discs (MooseDT-SD1A-2D-8-16-32MB.ISO) and 3 & 4 discs (MooseDT-SD1A-3D4D-16-32MB.ISO). Maybe the "y" in the "ST3_capacity_xy0AS" model number refers to the number of platters and maybe this explains why the SD1A update bricked the 500GB drives but not the 1TB and 1.5TB??? The "x" in the model number appears to reflect the cache size. 3 = 32MB (ST31500341AS, ST31000333AS and ST3640323AS) 6 = 16MB (ST3640623AS and ST3320613AS) 8 = 8MB (ST3320813AS and ST3160813AS) I suspect that the ST3640330AS also has 3 platters, but that it has a reduced data density. The following page attempts to explain the model numbering systems for several drive manufacturers, but the above data are missing: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=921544 Can anyone guess as to the meaning of the last digit in the model number? - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

Don't know nothing about Seagate...  Can anyone guess as to the meaning of the last digit in the model number? Well, I could take a look, but no promises...  -- "Maslinovs li blatoo mase ?" upita balkona ugnjetava knjigau slusu.
