I've updated my 3750330AS 7200.11 from SD15 to SD1A successfully using a PC. I'am currently using it as my external drive using Vantec casing (E-Sata).
Unfortunately, before I update the firmware, I have never knew (I forgot to check) whether the drive did have constantly increased in Raw Read Error Rate, Seek Error Rate & Hardware ECC Recovered or not. Only after I've updated it, than I noticed the SMART like below : » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I've read over the web that Seagate do have problem with a third party SMART reader that interpret the value incorrectly. I'am using Everest for the above result. So, could someone that haven't updated the firmware, check about this. Just to confirm that this new firmware doesn't do any harm.... |

if you read the seagate forums (which some damning posts were deleted) and also the seagate insider maxtorman blog, you will know that this problem bypasses SMART.. it;'s embedded in the firmware microcode.. even SMART won't know what hit it when it happens.. better dun take chances.. backup the stuffs.. then continue to use the HDD with updated firmware.. if still dare..

Thanks one_guy....
 At least I know it's normal for Seagate to have values like that. ar188... Are you referring to this ARTICLE? Yeah...I've read it. But more on blaming their middle Management on pressuring them to release not-fully tested Firmware. Back up my data.... ... mine was 750Gb mind you (Used 85%). Where am I suppose to back it up....  |

I think on the seagate forums and another site.. got mention that SMART won't "see" the issue.. one day you turn on the drive, poof.. it's not seen by BIOS.. no SMART to save the HDD..

Where am I suppose to back it up.... as for backing up tell me about it.. 4-5TB to back up here.. just bought one WD yesterday, getting another 1-2more next weeks or the 1.5TB/ 2TB if can hang long longer until stocks arrive.. then the balance just use 4 seagates (updated firmware) with duplicate data.. good thing that the 1,5TB/2TB WD comes out now.. need one of those as well.. |

USD299 (should be retail price) for 2TB ain't exactly cheap.. maybe malaysia will have cheaper "Installer" pricing..Added on January 30, 2009, 7:14 pmtoday I went to buy 1more WD 1TB but, instead went for a new stock (datecode 09XXX) Seagate 1.5TB.. couldn't help it.. went to check online... it says below.. (dunno true or not, new stock end dec/early jan09 also not affected??.. I tot they only fixed the firmware on around 21-22nd JAN?? ) SNo Serial number Result Action 1 9VS0XXXX Drive is not affected.
