Holy wars :)
They both (Ace and SD) didn't do research on .11 drives.
Half a year ago only SRS were able to fix the problems, three month ago half of Russian DR gurus were able to fix the problems (I beleive the same with Chinese DR gurus). And ~month ago SD and ACE were able to fix the problems (what a coincidence :) )

Strange how the only company able to fix these dodgy Seagate hard drives 6 months ago were Seagate Recovery Services. Anyone else think this is strange? :roll:

Seagate. The best company at Data Recovery. Shame about the quality of their latest hard drives. Maybe some of the larger data recovery companies will seek revenge by manufacturing better hard drives. :lol:

I think Doomer would admit if he knows correct that others cracked it before SRS.. AFAIK SRS don't have access to everything but some ;o)


And my best wishes to people in India tonight :O( it is becoming one big SH1T world

I am no wondering on this.

Both company works on new projects in the first task, and the resources are limited.
The only one case, like 7200.11 is not too important, to take extra attention....

Milk the customer for everything they got before the fix leaks out, that's the Seagate way. You'd be a fool to buy a Seagate these days. Anyone who has tried to open their FreeAgent plastic clip crap drives knows what I'm talking about.

Yes this whole episode stinks.
Seagate Recovery Services must have known what the problem was for many months.
Seagate drive manufacturing R&D must also have had the knowledge for at least the same amount of time. I wonder which of the two was first?
One would of thought a fix would have been provided by Seagate (maybe even to end users) but obviously there were comercial reasons why that never happened.
I just hope the press pick up on this and make public what went on.

Not much is worse to open than a MyBook. That honor belongs to Freeagent (spawn of hell).

in reality I do not think that Seagate did it on purpose... The money they make from Seagate recovery services would not make even a fraction of a dent into Seagates profit overall.. Also the loss in revenue from having to do RMA's would have been great..

Just a glich nothing done on purpose

If you do some research, assuming you have time and resources, you can. Of course, having access to eng data makes TTM/TTR shorter...

Send me one and I'll tell you :)

I also have thoughts of putting something in between the serial transmitter and the drive to listen to what the fix is.
