I have 5 ES.2 500GB drives running and already emailed their tech support for firmware update...
But it looks like the updates aren\'t available yet...

Here is my on line chat from January 16, 2009 2:12 PM PST

Hello. How may I help you?
Steve John: I am here for the 1TB Firmware error as explained on the URL http://seagate.custkb.com/seagat ... ch.jsp?DocId=207931
Jason H.: Sure, there will be a firmware update in the next few days, I would check back Tuesday just to make sure.
Steve John: OK. Do I need to contact you again, or will it be freely downloadable?
Jason H.: It should be available, but if it is not jump back into chat and we wil be able to get it for you .
Steve John: Thanks

Yeah, me too. Looks like there\'s no firmware available until next Tuesday, so there\'s not a lot of point contacting Seagate until then.

Hello. How may I help you?
CS: hello
CS: This is relation to your KB article Seagate KB 207931
CS: The 7200.11 new firmware
CS: I have two drives that need updating to avoid the boot-of-death failure
CS: I\'ve already had to RMA a third drive that has failed and I want to avoid having to do it again
CS: My drives are both ST31000340AS running SD15, serials are <deleted>
Jason H.: Sure, let me check for you.
Jason H.: Based on your serials, there will be an update released in the next few days. If you would I would check back Tuesday.
CS: It&#92;&#39;s not available yet?
CS: But you can confirm both these drives are "at risk" and need the update?
Jason H.: Not that they are at risk, but there will be a firmware update released for your drives.
CS: But they will need the update yes? As I said I&#92;&#39;ve already had another one of these drives fail in this manner.
Jason H.: I dont know that they need an update, just that there will be a newer revision released and it is always good to get the latest and greatest if available.
CS: Uhh.... okay, I guess I&#92;&#39;ll have to try back next week and hope I don&#92;&#39;t lose another drive before that.
Jason H.: okay, thank-you and have a nice day!!!

我真係好彩
每次同一代HDD買超過1隻就出事.

對上一次係Maxtor DM9, 買左120GB IDE同SATA各一隻, 成個系列後黎reputation唔多好. (我死左隻SATA).
今次輪到Barracuda ES.2

經此一役, 以後組RAID5唔通要用4隻唔同牌子HDD
