Maxtor 6Y080L0 is mis-identified as 6Y084L2 YCR41VJ0 in PC3K

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks

Migt be cable or connector related.

Calypso can do this.
Probably some data in SA is damaged or corrupted.

For some reason ( problems with the SA) the drive cannot start in standard mode and therefore it starts in alternative mode. In such a mode you can start the Self-test to repair the drive including the SA. Otherwise you must start the drive in Safe mode, use a loader to run it in standard mode and repair SA manually.

Hi BGman,

The C in the FW revision can be a result of a single bit contact problem, since there is a '4' digit instead of a '0' elsewhere, in word-length distance.

Hi Pepe,
I have seen a number of Calipso drives to identify themselves in such a way, but... feel free to trust what you want.

Hi,

I only said this COULD be, not this IS the problem.
It is much easier to check or replace a cable in the beginning than sucking (sorry for the word) some hours with the FW and finally replace the cable.
BTW I also think it is more than 80% probably FW related.

Hi pepe

No need to read anything -

the model no reported by gbulger == FW === 100% certain.
