F4EG is ALREADY ON THE MARKET, LYP.
Not every shop is selling yet due to the fact that theres still quite abit of F3EG drives left, but stocks for F4EG are a plenty.

You Jjust have to ask.

Practically most shops.
But the ones which puts out on sale is Robyncom, Viewnet, and Cycom.

The others, just ask... really.
They have it, but they aren't selling it until requested by customers because they still need to clear the F3EG stock first.

ycs, SMART uses simple counters. Has the number increased at all since you changed the cable? If the number has remained the same, then your problem is fixed and you do not need to RMA the HDD.

thanks for explaining.

PC vendors search for HDDs in gray markets due to shortages   

Aaron Lee, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Friday 4 November 2011] 

Because of the increasing global shortage of hard disk drives arising from the flooding in Thailand, PC vendors have searched HDDs available for sale in gray markets, causing hikes in gray market prices from US$45 to over US$100 for a 500GB HDD and from US$35 to US$60-70 for a 320GB model, according to Taiwan-based PC supply chain makers. 

Due to the uncertainty of the HDD industry's future, vendors' concerns over shortages have grown deeper, causing them to look everywhere to fill their inventory.  The sources described the brand vendors going into a "panic" to fill their HDD inventory. Most have repeatedly placed orders to HDD makers with combined volume already double or even triple their usual demand, but since HDD makers can only reply that they have no more inventory, or cannot provide their supply status, the vendors have turned to the gray market. 

PC brand vendors also analyzed the situation and pointed out that considering a mainstream PC is priced about NT$25,000-28,000 (US$827-926), if the price of a 320GB hard drive rises US$30, the cost for the PC will increase about 4%. If the PC is a high-end model, the vendors should be able to absorb the cost, but if the PC is a mainstream model, vendors are likely to observe the market status before deciding whether to increase prices.  As for ultrabooks, since most PC brand vendors except Acer only adopt solid state drives (SSD) for their ultrabook models, shortages of HDD may boost demand for ultrabooks, the sources noted.

The sources also revealed that Japan-based HDD motor supplier Nidec has had close to 2,000 sets of equipment damaged by the floods which may take more than two years to fully recover.  The sources pointed out that Nidec is currently seeking equipment from the related industry players, but the claims have not yet been confirmed by Nidec. 

The sources added that once equipment is submerged in water, the machines will need to be replaced. Earthquakes tend to be less disastrous as equipment typically only needs to be reset before resuming operations.
