1.5tb Seagate HDD $99 shipped

[neothe0ne]

In 10 minutes, the 1.5tb seagate hdd will be $99 shipped.

I'm not going to call the firmware issues a myth, but I own two of these bought weeks apart early on, and both still work fine...

Not a myth......just you got lucky. It is/was a known problem. I had one that wasn't a myth, but the second replacement has been great!

Firmware was a January problem. The units shipping all have updated firmware.

I have one of these in my WHS and it's been terrific.

do not use these in RAID on SAS controllers. SATA controllers should be fine.

I need to replace a bunch of mine. Of the 10 I bought, 9 have >1 reallocated sector. Some drives have more than 80 reallocated sectors, one has more than 170. I have no idea what the max reallocated sector count is, but I have to be pretty close. All are CC* firmware.

 

[Bad Dude]

Which are the good firmware?

My NAS reports them, so the OS I suppose.
