It is a mess right now.

Seagate itself doesn't really know how to fix this problem. They are giving out conflicting "solutions".

So far, I've managed to repair one of the drives, 2 others dead, and I'm not touching 6 others, awaiting Seagate's decision.

But anyway, here are the softwares I've managed to download
USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

lucky my newly bought 1tb seagate is not in the problematic batch..but unfortunately my ext hdd which i bought from a forumer last yr which is 500gb is 320AS and is on SD15..using it like almost 6 months...inside full of data ...

-Hmm, any drive owner with -568 Product Code and/or SD35 firmware have any problem(s) with the HDD? Mind to share?

-Also, anyone who bought from AllnGap and faced a problem & RMA'ed the HDD already, please share too. Not try to ruin his sale, only want to know.
If there's no case (beside mine  sad.gif  ), then maybe his batch could be safe.

-FYI, my HDD is ST31000340AS with 9BX158-568 Product Code and SD35 firmware.
Regards.

i didnt unplug my the other seagate hdd and the hdd i updated is on esata connection...when update..make sure u choose the correct disk then it will tell u the other hdd is not seagate product and update the model u choose.


then the update will roughly take 1-2 mins and then it will power off ur pc...just wait a while (make sure u unplug all the power source to ur pc) and then on back ur pc...u will see windows detecting new drive and dang dang dang...ur hdd now is with new firmware!..
