Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB
Any idea when this will be supported :-) Cliff
What I find interesting is there appears to be two issues:
1) Drive quality - As far as I know the firmware updates have nothing to do with reallocated sectors, but of course that is a guess because Seagate aren't really telling us what they are fixing
2) Firmware issues, Drives freezing, Bricked drives etc
Interestingly, my three drives with SD firmware have had zero issues to-date but I am seeing reallocated sectors on my one CC drive. Reading through this thread it appears that there are more reallocated sectors on the CC?? drives can others confirm? It would be interesting to tally how many reallocated sectors people have seen by original firmware and the number of hrs of uptime.
So I have:
Quantity: 3
Orig Firmware: SD17 (Upgraded to SD1A)
Reallocated Sectors: 0
Hrs Uptime: ~1000 hrs each drive
Quantity: 1
Orig Firmware: CC1H
Reallocated Sectors: 4
Hrs Uptime: ~600
Probably would have been better to collect in a table but I couldn't get it to post correctly.
