supposedly there's a firmware update for sd15, but you'll have to call seagate to get it. Other than that, you'll have to back up your data A.S.A.P hopefully on a non Seagate 7200.11 HDD.

Hmm, I think i shall start keeping important stuff outta my 500gb. Now mostly "stash" inside the 500gb.

i use seagate 7200.10(already use 1 year still ok)

is it gonna have same problem with 7200.11


or just seagate 7200.11 got problem

ppl say .11 xD

soon will see many Seagate HDD for lelong..

if there's even ppl who dare to buy .unless they are really noob in this stuffs and seldom visit online tech forums.

i got the same drive as TS, it gives me 'tick' sound once in a while.
F**K seagate, it's in my blacklist now.

Aiya, my RM1k WD VRaptor 300GB also died on me recently.
But happy got Seagate 1TB 7200.11 works as a spare.

Just wonder, is the seagate es or sv35 series got affected?
like this >http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/servers/sv35_series/

kinda tempted to get SV35 as my OS drive.

Lolz all seagate users panic alredi including me... must look for another 1tb hdd just in case my seagate fail

hey, no need to panic. It's only a 30% failure rate, so if you know 1 other guy who has a broken 7200.11, then chances are yours will be safe. That's why Seagate's not bothered with correcting the problem, because people who experienced it will just RMA or bring it to some data recovery and pay the arm and leg instead of suing them as they rightfully should.

Though technically, all 7200.11 drives with the DS15 firmware will definitely have a much shorter lifespan than any other drives, especially if you power cycle often.

Mind if i ask whats power cycle?

Cold reboot, power off then power on. Some people experienced it while the system is running where the OS spits out some error, and the drive doesn't come back on again after rebooting.

500gb seagate 3.5" hdd barracuda 7200.11 / ES


<---does this model is same like wat TS said?? imma newb here..

Does this affected to the new 1.5TB or not?
