on Data, they will always say they are not responsible for it, so better back it up now before something happens especially you have critical data inside

if this 7200.11 dead, it can claim warranty or not?
if can, all our data in this hdd will burn or not (in case not just in time)?

i successfully upgraded to SD1A last month but still worry coz my hdd started showing signs right now...

crap I already have a unit of the model stated with SD15 cos bought it few weeks back for standby, will try update the firmware before using it then. I guess some of you have updated but not really sure if it fixes the problem, becos need to wait till the time comes when someone's drive, even after updated, will not be detected in bios?

This fix really works?

So some says ok and some says not even after firmware update eh.. sweat.gif

Eh Vanguish,
U managed to change ur 7200.11 with 7200.12? Are we able to do that?

Btw, Just got myself WD 1TB green caviar.. seems WD do not produce 1.5TB but from 1TB straight to 2TB which is already in KL market now I think. As usual the new 2TB price gonna be overkill..

First sign is slow down.... sometimes random slow down..

Next the drives will stopped once a while.. meaning it will go missing from the windows os.. if you restart, your hdd will be back again..

Supplier sent me all new 7200.12 drives to do backup and data transfer today..

After this, i'll return the rubbish 7200.11 to them...
