Digital camera reviews of Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31000340AS [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]
Digital camera Review: Firmware Issues
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought two of these HDDs a little less than a year ago due to its good reviews here and installed them on my Windows Home Server.
However, after 10 months, one of them just bricked. I couldn't even mount it on a different computer. The BIOS wouldn't even recognize the drive.
Luckily WHS did a great job replicating my data to the other HDD.
After doing some research, I found out that these models have a firmware issue where the drive simply bricks itself. See article below.
[...]
While I'm not sure about the failure rate specified on the article above, search results indicate this to be a fairly common problem.
Seagate is currently shipping me a replacement under warranty. However, under their terms, they'll be shipping a refurbished HDD and not a new one. I'll be adding this refurbished drive in my WHS, but already expecting it to brick sometime in the future.
The reason for the 2 stars instead of 1, is that I like to be fair and these drive do have good performance and are fairly quiet. They do run a bit hot, but not an issue for me.
