Hi fellas,

 

Seagate has recently made a reluctant statement about firmware fault in their Barracuda 7200RPM Hard Drives, mainly manufactured in Dec2008.

It relates to LBA-0 appearance in BIOS

This just shows you how companies care more about there bottom line then there customers I had to send in 3 drives in a week, they were 2 weeks old. Like Sawbones said they knew this was going on long before and did not recall or issue a press release till there old drives and firmware were gone from stores

Seagate's always been my default go-to choice for hard drives... but I'll be honest, this latest debacle has shaken my faith in them.

 

Undoubtedly that decision was made by some pencil-necked admin/lawyer at Seagate, and I'm sure it was strictly for business reasons... but it's pretty poor form not to acknowledge a screw-up like that.
