QUOTE(Radeon @ Nov 25 2008, 11:11 PM) it seems that those that apply the firmware solved the issue but there are still so many people that still could not get their hands of the firmware Don't they have it on their server for everyone to download?

QUOTE(Radeon @ Nov 26 2008, 04:10 PM) nope, they will only email you the firmware 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 Affected part number: 9JU138-300, 336 with firmware revisions SD15, SD17, or SD18. So i'm not sure what batch is it currently How come they do not upload it on their support site so everyone can fix it?? I guess I shall go lowyat or PC fair to check, are you planning to get 1 1.5TB? Have you looked at the prices of the 1.5TB in different shops? I think viewnet is the cheapest.

BTW has anyone bought a 1.5 TB seagate hard disk? I bought it and it forces me to format in simple volume, btw what is the difference between simple volume and dynamic volume? I read in a few articles that it onlysupports xp vista and above. What bout linux and mac computers?

How do you know which firmware is installed on your hard disk?
