Well, a couple of my post's have been deleted on Seagate calling in to question their FW being written for the wrong revision number of the drives (IE: written for 7200.11 that are actually 7200.9). After talking to Seagate support, I found out that even though the label on my drive says ST3500320AS (in 2 places) and 7200.11 on it. According to Seagate's computers, my serial number is for a ST3500641AS which after looking it up, is a 7200.9. Funny thing is, as far as I can tell all the problems are with the 7200.11, but if what I looked up about the ST3500641AS being a 7200.9. Why am I setting here with a bricked drive which went out just like the 7200.11? Then the question is how many drives are out there that are labeled wrong? Could it be all the ones with all the troubles?. So when I posted that maybe they should be looking in to if they where writing code for the wrong drives, they delete the posts. When ever I update any other FW, they always say make sure you have the right model # and revision # because if not, you may render it inoperable, which kind of sounds like the hard drives to me. But which is worse for Seagate, saying they have a bug in the FW or selling drives as one type when they are not that type? Could it have been a corporate decision to label the drives wrong or was it an accident, and when did they find out?
