I thought hard disk, processor, RAM are non nego. What you got when you get 2 1TB? did you see 7200.12, or any SV35 or ES.2? Thanks.

I see. Thanks for the info. I went to All IT to get 500gb, also the same expired date.
Er, I think it apply to all Barracuda to 3 years after 3 January 2009. Try to search for Product Warranty Matrix. You will see Enterprise range is still 5 years.

Wait, how do I know that my HDDs are affected according to the serial numbers? I've used the "Drive Detect" software to check, but I don't see anything that tells me that my HDDs are affected...

All I get is this:

Model: ST3500320AS, Serial: 9QMXXXXX, Firmware: SD15, Attached: Yes
Model: ST3500320AS, Serial: 9QMXXXXX, Firmware: SD15, Attached: Yes

So, which part of the info above tells me that my HDD is affected? blink.gif

check this https://apps1.seagate.com/rms_af_srl_chk/rm...check_index.jsp

I got one drive that is affected, but I updated the none affected drive, doh.gif

what are the steps tat i need to take to RMA the drive? what the checklist?
register my warranty on seagate website, perform return on the website, select the place to return, use the correct packaging, then? need any signature? after i send the drive to them, how they gonna send the repaired drive to me? using the order number or wat?......
and, im at sarawak....i decided to send to selangor there, when i gonna get the repaired one back?
and can i replace the drive with the higher capacity drive? or they just replace with the same model?
doesnt it need to let the seagate to verify if the drive need replacement before sending it to them? i mean...i just create the return order and then post the drive to them without having them to verify the drive beforehand? (get what i mean or not??)

they will send back the info based on what you registered in your website.

on website, can you check whether there is a pickup services?

d ca-42 cable if u buy frm lowyat is rm 30, other place can get rm25 like pertama, or online a bit cheaper, check mudah/lelong...

i jahanam my 1st cable after cut open d plastic mold wanting to check d cable lable on d IC, but fak these china made ones dun have, and d colour code all not the same as those shown online, so hv to search for the pin out diagram of ca-42 to check which is which, test a bit then finally can get it right on d 2nd cable... 
quite a bit of work here actually...

so if u guys are adventurous and mr DIY, go for it, it is not rocket sains, just follow the instruction properly.

there are many instruction online, can make u kelam kabut, the best one is the youtube version.
