Hi, all! I am using the same ST3500320AS 500GB SG HDD as well. On my 1st day installed it, I was thinking my m/board has problems, so I made a changes in the CMOS, but it works. Normally the preset QUICK BOOT UP MODE is enable, just disable it, and the HDD is back to normal and using it for months until now. This my sharing here, hope that it will helps you guys.

Your scenario reflects that you have a configuration problem of your BIOS, not a HDD problem. |

Sorry for I didn't make it clear, actually when start up the machine, can't even detect the SG HDD, always showing no HDD. But with my old 160Gb HDD no such problems........only the SG HDD has problems, once disable the quick boot...then all okie. But does it mean the m/board has error? or the HDD has error? |

You may right,but you also may be wrong..Many cases happen their using SD15 but from seagate check serials say their drive is not affected. But later, their drive also brick....

@one_guy:
well the only way then is to backup ur HD and get a non-Seagate HD...return the seagate HD for RMA if it is bricked ...that's the only option i can see if that's the case...there's always a way to unbrick the HD...google around or head to seagate forum for solution...i'm no fan of seagate HD...hv always been using WD user...but i think this problem hv been blown out of proportion...even the simplest problem hv been blame on seagate when the problem lies elsewhere...however, having said that...seagate too is at fault concerning their response to the 7200.11 HD and the subsequent release of their buggy sd1a firmware update to replace the buggy sd15 firmware on selected drives... |
