alright, some quick reading led me to believe that this firmware update is NOT applicable to OEM drives
http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/messag...cending&page=19 Added on January 19, 2009, 9:05 pm QUOTE Many of you who have "crashes" with the firmware updater are probably like me. If you have a 1TB drive, you probably have part number 9BX158-303 (or something like that) which is DIFFERENT than the 9BX158-300 that the firmware updater is expecting. If you open up your PC and look at the drive, on the label there will be a "P/N" field that needs to match "9BX158-300". If it doesn't, at least for now, the firmware updater won't do it. What this means, I'm not sure, because there sure seems to be a lot of us with "-303" drives that need some sort of fix. from the seagate forum This post has been edited by cyew86: Jan 19 2009, 09:05 PM |

QUOTE(one_guy @ Jan 19 2009, 10:09 PM) I just realize just now... When I updated it, no data was lost (I have already backed up my data). Rebooted after the failure and the drive is still there, with the contents intact.Sorry if this repeated post.. I thought the earlier forumer get their firmware through email... BTW, how many people already success with this firmware? If the update fail,does the data inside the disk also corrupt? Now waiting for the Seagate 320GB firmware to be available. Does anyone know if Seagate 320GB with SD22 firmware is affected? The Seagate link gives me a blank page for that. |

I owned 4 HDD, all also Seagate. I trust them for many years. http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/self...sp?DocId=207931 Below link Firmware Update for ST3500320AS, ST3640330AS, ST3750330AS, ST31000340AS http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/self...sp?DocId=207951 Hope someone can post the result...  So far no problem, I think need backup more frequent now. Oops, where to Backup ? All also Seagate Does it affect those model number ending with "NS" ? eg. ST3500630NS , ST3750640NS Thanks. |
