Re: Seagate hard disk firmware issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Some time ago, I returned my hard disk and got a new one. Lately, I'm
having performance issues again and I suspect there is a hardware
error again like last time. If you could confirm this I would be most
grateful.

Thanks in advance!
