Hello,

I've tried to apply CC4H firmware update (Barracuda-ALL-GRCC4H.iso) from Seagate to 3 CC4C drives, unfortunately the process failed on one drive and since then it's undetectable.
I don't know why it failed, it could be because that drive was on ASM6101 pcie sata card or possibly while all three being 9YN164, the one that failed could be a 3 platter version (why the official firmware update tool bricks a drive during automated update process is something i don't really understand)

The drive is out of warranty so can anyeone please tell me my options if there are any or point to me the right direction? I might also have a board from a failed hdd of the same model, I'm just not sure whether the firmware is on the platters or in flash and whether some drive specific data aren't in the flash as well.
The data on the disk is not important.

Thank you

I ever met the similar problem when i updated to CC4H on my two-plattered ST2000DM001 drive, however, fortunately it just failed not bricked my drive. Later, a friend recommended me connecting my drive to the native SATA port on the motherboard and changing the SATA mode to IDE mode in BIOS, and that solved my problem.
