Skidro Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 In the wake of freezing issues with Seagate's 1.5TB drives comes yet another problem with the Barracuda 7200.11 series. Failure rates of the 1TB drives in particular are abnormally high, but Seagate has not acknowledged the problem.Link: Seagate 1TB Drives Biting The DustIf you already own one, you might consider using it as an external volume?

LoKz Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Are there any 1TB or bigger than a 4GB USB Stick?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidro Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 what i meant was to use it as a backup disk, that's wat :footinmouth: rather than run it as a part of a RAID array. Nyway they're out wid new firmware, but i thought i'd just put this up for whoever may consider buying an HD anytime soon... rather look for stabler drives or wait till seagate's do away wid these errors.
