I recently got around to trying out this HDD I had purchased. I got the following results with HD Tune..? I ran it three times.. same deal.
Seagate's Website state's it has an important Firmware update...? When I run their program, it restarts the computer but doesn't find the HDD... is it because it's in the darn Enclosure & connected by USB ??
Disk Check & HD Tune's check resulted in no errors?
I deleted the partition & recreated in Disk Managment.. still didn't change anything.
Also... the drive shows up as just JMicron to multiple programs, such as HD Tune.
Any suggestion?
------------------
Connected HDD directly to mobo via Sata cable. Windows recognized it & found new drivers for it. I believe that was the major issue. No drivers were installed ever because the external enclosure wasn't allowing Windows from recognizing it as a Seagate drive?? Updated the firmware as well since the HDD was blank.

Enclosure junk? What do you guys think?
