REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Anyone has problem with Seagate HDD lately ?

syee · 01-26-2009, 12:09 PM

My drive ST37500330AS on SD15 firmware apparently is one of the affected models. I've been running on this drive for about a year now with no issues.

Updated the firmware anyways just to be safe.

I've never really had any major issues with Seagates - I've only ever had to RMA one drive (a 250GB drive) that I was using in an external enclosure. I suspect however that it may have been heat related as the enclosure got unusually warm when it was powered up for a period of time.

I've had to say that I've returned more WD's that I have Seagates.
