Seagate ST3000DM001-1CH166
Hi. I got my ReadyNAS NV+ v2 earlier in the month and got 3xST3000DM001 (as i couldnt afford a 4th at the time). Those 3 drives were ST3000DM001-9YN166 drives which updated to firmware CC4H fine a...
The ST3000DM001 part number 1CH166 uses a different ASIC controller than the 9YN166 part number. While they are both ST3000DM001 model numbers, they are not compatible from a firmware perspective. If you are using the Seagate FDL firmware flash utility, it should fail with an error indicating that the binary download failed. If you could be successful at loading the firmware on the wrong part number, you will brick the drive and the only way to get the drive functional again is to return the drive to Seagate. The CC24 version of firmware is compatible with the 1CH166 part number, although I have not tried it with a ReadyNAS. You will not be able to load the CC4H firmware onto the 1CH166 drives.
