At least Seagate have a fix for it. Better than those 40gb IBM DEATHstar drives. I had like 2 of them and both are now dead. Funny thing was they died a couple times before and to bring them back to life, you just need to do a low level format. It will be fine for like a few months and then die again. Got so tired of it that i threw it on the ground.

As for the firmware update, I updated my STA3500320AS firmware SD15 that I bought during boxing week and it seems to be fine. I did an ASR on it just incase it doesnt come back to life and saved the file to my external drive. Followed the instructions and the upgrade was fine and easy.
