that tutorial is a bit complicated...but it is a good link though.

same old story, but more HDD dying everyday.

including mine.

darthkir, what firmware u were using??

lots of people out there still don't know about this particular HDD issue.
they keep on buying the shitgate due to cheap prices.

we should do something to help them not to step into this problem.

maxieos,

you better DON'T buy seagate for the time being.
we will never know the risk lying ahead of us.
better u search for other brands, WD, Hitachi.

we don't want u to have the same fate as ours.

nazseha,

they even hasn't solved this issue yet. moreover their latest firmware cannot cure this problem as well. take mine as example. 1 month after flashing to SD1A, and then, kaput!

cannavaro,

then the moderators should spread this news as far and quickly as possible. people out there deserved to know the truth.

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.

yes i really am.

my HDD failed me 1 month after updating to SD1A.

a2z2u,

looks like yours are not affected. refer to seagate official website for more info.

it is just a matter of time plus some luck...

how about western digital, ok or not?

right after I found this thread, 3 days later my HDD kong straight away.

LOL!!

your dead HDD updated to SD1A or not?

seagate claimed the new firmware can solve the problem. but mine dead right after i updated to the SD1A.

so now i would like to know if yours is the same like mine, or the opposite.
