New Seagate drive – so far, so good.
I was desperately in need of a new drive, so I bit on another Seagate 1.5tb drive. My old drive was making weird noises and had seek/read/write measurements at about 2x (so half for read/write) that of my current storage drives. What made it worse was that it was my primary drive (Apps, Windows, etc).
The new Seagate drive seems to be holding up fine now. It came with revision SD17 firmware on it, and Windows installed without any hitches without updating the firmware. I updated the firmware to SD1A after the Windows install so I wouldn’t have to deal with it in the future, and so far everything is going well. I’m settled in on the new drive, but I’m keeping the old drive around just in case…
