Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB
Any idea when this will be supported :-) Cliff
Well, so far the 1.5 TB Seagate is running just fine, I have about 60 hours on the drive an no reallocated sectors yet. It is a CC1H firmware build with a build code of TK.
I am curious if there are a significant number of people who run these drives without issue and that this might be a hardware build issue for a specific production line or some such.
Still not trusting the drive, just doing testing before shifting to the old Seagate 750's I have already, (have 7 drives but one is a 7200.11 series which I would probably not plan to use).
If the WD 2TB drives work well I may go to them for my backup media as my current plan is to use new drives for backup media and then migrate them to the raid when I need more space and the 4TB drives are available. That way the backup drives are always the "freshest" drives I own.
Just providing some feedback for others looking at these drives. Note that this is a single drive running in a PRO, if there is any reason that the raid would make the problem worse I don't know.
