QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Nov 26 2008, 10:37 AM) Don't they have it on their server for everyone to download? nope,  they will only email you the firmware QUOTE(SySTeM_eRRoR @ Nov 26 2008, 02:51 PM) The reason is because not all drives are compatible with the firmware update. There are currently 2 types of firmware found (SD1A and CC1H) and they are given by Seagate after you contact their technical support (giving serial/part number) and it's for your own use only. There are cases where some drives were bricked when they perform the update with firmwares provided by other users who obtained them from Seagate for their own drives. yea the owners claim that some of the tech support did not know such issue existed and was playing "creative" style, thus many users that got frustrated as they did not get a fix QUOTE(limhongwoon @ Nov 26 2008, 03:55 PM) buy before september 2008 , then the hdd sure hav problem ?? Affected part number: 9JU138-300, 336 with firmware revisions SD15, SD17, or SD18. So i'm not sure what batch is it currently |

Anyone knows the price for samsung's spindisk F1, read many reviews on it rated higher in performance than WD raptor. And cheaper in price, so quite value for money. In terms of performance and value.
