For now it's best to keep the number of boots limited. "Audible problems"? Are you referring to click of death? (sorry if this is a stupid question, but english is not my native language) At the moment no firmware fix is available for the people who already own a 7200.11 SD15 drive, but rumours are that seagate has been implementing a new firmware version in recently assembled drives. However nothing has been confirmed yet. So unfortunately we'll just have to sit it out.. We understand your worries and hope your drive will be spared. Yes, the clicks are what I'm referring to. Honestly, I keep my computer on for irresponsible lengths of time anyway. I'm one of those anime peoples who downloads it 24/7.
