[Solved] Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166: Load Cycle Count
Hi, sorry if this has been discussed already, all i could find are topics about upgrading the firmware on these drives. I've got a NV+v2 with 4 3TB ST3000DM001-9YN166 disks in it, firmware CCH4 ...
Seatools will find and test them even if they are in a USB enclosure or USB->Sata adapter. My laptop has eSata, and that of course works as well (though you need an eSata->Sata cable, and a power supply).

Though you can test it (and verify the SMART stats), upgrading the firmware when you are using USB is another matter.
