Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB

Im getting 30mb/sec + from and too my readynas pro with my 4x1,5 tb seagate disks with write cache turned off. So personally i will keep my disks until new firmware comes out.

It HAS to come a fix, these disk also fails when only single disk on ANY system. There are even posts at the seagate message board!

This shows that all linux users have these write cache problems.

Model Number: ST31500341AS Firmware Revision: SD17 And the problem is not just under Linux, its in Vista too. I have tried the drive in the following configurations and they all exhibit the freezing problem: Motheboard on-board SATA controller, non-raid PCI-Express SATA controller, non-raid and raid Swapping SATA cables Swapping Power supplies Running on Linux Ubuntu 2.6.24 Running on Vista 64 Bit Home Premium The problem exhibits itself really quickly while watching recorded TV shows. On Linux I can get red of the problem by disabling write cache on the drive, on Vista I don't know how to fix it. EDIT: This seems to be a much bigger problem, there are reports of problems with this drive in Macs, PC's, NAS devices, you name it: Mac User Thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=571843 Ubuntu Users Thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=933053 Synlogy Users Thread: http://www.synology.com/enu/forum/viewt ... 26&t=10746 Toms Hardware Users Thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/24711 ... 31500341as Netgear ReadyNAS (They removed it from their compatibility list after user complaints): viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20435&st=0&sk=t&sd=a So lets hope this gets resolved soon!
