Seagate offers fix for 1.5TB Barracuda freezes - TechAmok
Seagate offers fix for 1.5TB Barracuda freezes - [briefly] 05:52 PM EST - Nov,25 2008 - post a comment Seagate officially provides
an updated firmware ( download
through torrent) that finally fixes the
'freezing' problem
some users witnessed with 1.5TB Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives. Here's the full
statement from Seagate spokesman Mike Hall:
Some Seagate Barracuda 8200.11 1.5TB hard drives may show uncharacteristic
operation when used with Mac and Linux operating systems in multi-drive
configurations. Users may experiences pauses in video streaming applications or
a dropped drive from RAID arrays. Customers seeing these symptoms should contact
Seagate Technical Support for a firmware upgrade. In order to assure the
proper application of the new firmware, please email a description of the issues
you're seeing to Seagate (discsupport@seagate.com) Please include the following
disk
drive information: model number, serial number and current firmware
revision. Also, please describe your system, operating system and the
application in use when the issue arose, and you will receive a prompt response
with appropriate instructions. As an alternative to the contact email address
above please access http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/about/contact_us/.
Perhaps that's not the end of this story, though. One of the Seagate support
forum members who initially complained dropped us a line saying the new firmware
negatively impacts performance. According to Nick,
average read performance for his 1.5TB 'cuda was 105.8MB/s. With the new
firmware, however,
he claims read performance dipped to 86MB/s. Disabling write caching
allegedly brought that figure back up to 101MB/s. |
