I am using the 1TB Seagate HDD bought mid March 2009, so far no problems after usage of two weeks. Also, it doesn't seem to make much noise when accessing the data in it as reported in this thread.
I did not flash the firmware. If this goes well till June / July 2009 I might get another HDD. Good thing is that all my data is backup in another PC. Hence, if this fail I will not be worried about lost data. I sincerely hope it doesn't though. |

steventsc,
refer to earlier page please. nazseha, it still depends on luck. but, can we afford to wonder every single day, is my HDD gonna be alright? is my HDD will be affected? think again. can we afford to worry about our HDD for every single minute? it is useless for us to keep on mumbling about this issue while at the same time people out there continue buying the shitgate. |

Guys, just want to confirm.
My workplace just purchased two set of pc. The hard disks are 500GB ST3500418AS with firmware CC34. I've googled and found that this model is not affected. Is that true? |

Crap my ST3500320AS died after 5-6 months of usage. Besides update to SD1A firmware, is there any way to recover the data inside?
