[rameez]

I have recieved about 500 pcs of U8 and U10 crap most of the drives i have are clicking about 90% of them , i have gone crazy figuring out what is the problem with them .
Please help me out if someone has experience with them ,tell me U8 and U10 clicking what are the problems : <most of the times>
1) Firmware
2) Heads
3) Alignment
4) PCB .

thanks

What's the possibility waht the whole container of these 500 ps. was dropped?
You can figure out what could happened if it was dropped

Hello. I agree with you pepe.... It's an old type of seagate isn't it? and it's about their age to get rest don't you think?

Thanks for the input the container was not damaged anyhow thats for sure .
to pepe,
Which do u think is the most PCB or HEADS ?

[pepe]

Well,

U8 can easily joke with U when FW versions do not match... so I would rather say nothing as I have seen tricky things with U8.

Yes i totally agree with u as i have worked with many drives now .
In my opinion these are the worst hdd manufactured by seagate .
