Guys it seems that seagate has admitted that their hdds got problem so their offering free replacements and data recovery services to all previously bricked hdd, and if u send them email with ur hdd serial number, they'll send u an updated firmware.
 btw i already emailed them, let see how fast they respond Techreport |
