Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB
Any idea when this will be supported :-) Cliff
4 drives purchased, 2 have failed with greater than 200 re-allocated sectors, 1 failed to the point of where it was marked dead.
On the other hand, I have a CC1J drive that has been running now for 134 hrs, with not so much as a hiccup. It has 0 sectors re-allocated, and appears to be like a rock.
The first drive I bought, a CC1G was running in a USB enclosure until today when I managed to update it to CC1H, and it will be used to replace the newest of the 4, one with 36 hours and 258 sector re-allocations.
*sigh*
The one that failed completely is on its way back to the egg, hopefully to be swapped with a shiny new CC1J that works as well as the one I have. It was also a CC1J though.
Not sure what Seagate is up to. I have had nothing but rock solid drives from them for decades, now 2 out of 4 are having problems for me, and they are lowering their warranty on new drives. I have lost no data, due to my always having a backup plan, and will give these drives a couple more shakes, but there will come a time when it will be time to move on.
