Interesting, as I have just received 4 of theses drives. Can you tell me the version of both the faulty and good firmware? Regards, Richard Richard Michael wrote:
I'll reply to myself again, since I've solved the issue and figure it might as well go into archives somewhere. :) After discovering Adaptec acknowledged an issue these (and related) drives on their controllers and provides updated drive firmware on their website, I guess-timated a drive issue. I obtained the new SN05 firmware directly from Seagate and the drives are performing much faster on the Intel controller. For good measure, I flashed the other three drives (on the Marvell chipset controller), and they're still fine too. Richard
