Guys, I need a quick info here.

Is the model ST31000340NS (Barracuda ES.2) affected by the issues discussed in this thread?

It will be crazy and time-consuming for me to read thru all 46 pages shocking.gif

Ok, currently on the HDD label, it says Firmware: SN04

Do I need to do the firmware flash?

Here's one data point for you. I have 8x ST31000340NS (SN06 firmware) connected to an Adaptec 3805 (BIOS build 15753), and the drives drop out during heavy IO. And on more than one occasion already.

I'm waiting to put the array out of production before I do more isolation tests on it, because I still don't know whether it's a controller or disk issue.

Argh...we got different firmwares, cant really compare directly, isn't?
My guess is, I have an older firmware SN04, is that right?
When did you bought those drives, wKkaY?
