[WARNING Hardware HDD] Quien no tiene HDD SEAGATE de 7200 rpm?¡ y un WD (1.000GB/750), al loro Actualizarse pero YA ¡
Bueno, las unidades de seagate, de 7.200 rpm, supone karmazen que algunos modelos, por que si no ya contarán....
Existe un error en el firmware, (la bios del Hdd), que hace que el disco deje completamente innacesibles los datos, pasados unos meses de uso, el fallo dice no ser de hardware, pero recomiendan encarecidamente que "actualicen" el firmware, por que los DATOS estan alli, pero no se podrá acceder a los datos.
( no se si leyo kz, que iban a dar un servicio gratuito de recuperacion de datos en los casos extremos, pero mejor no llegar a esos extremos, pueden ser rumores )
La actualicacion esta por la pagina de seagate y ademas indicará que modelos son los afectados.

Firmware Recommendations for Barracuda 7200.11, ES.2 SATA, and DiamondMax 22 Drives [207931]Seagate has isolated a potential firmware issue in limited number of Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives and related SATA drives based on this product platform, manufactured through December 2008. In some unique circumstances, the data on the hard drives may become inaccessible to the user when the host system is powered on.
While we believe that the vast majority of customers will not experience any disruption related to this issue, as part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, Seagate is offering a free firmware upgrade to proactively address those with potentially affected products. This new firmware upgrade corrects compatibility issues that occurred with the firmware download provided on our support website on Jan. 16. We regret any inconvenience that the firmware issues have caused our customers.
To determine whether your product is affected, please visit the Seagate Support web site at seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservi … DocId=207931
In the unlikely event your drive is affected and you cannot access your data, the data still resides on the drive and there is no data loss associated with this issue. Seagate is working with customers to expedite a remedy.
WD, tambien esta con algunos problemillas, (Cabe señalar que no existen fracasos reales atribuidos a este problema hasta ahora) el caso es que algun software y distribuciones de linux acceden a los discos en intervalos cortos, de 10 segundos, por ejemplo y hay 2 o 3 modelos, segun ellos, que tienen "un control" de energia y hace que los cabezales "descansen" cada 8 segundos, esto conlleva un monton de paradas y arranques que puede provocar problemas en la unidad... segun el max del SMART que tenga el disco, empezarán a aparecer problemas.
Tambien dan soporte, mediante una actualizacion que "desactiva" ea funcion extra de ahorro llamado idle 3, y una aplicacion que controla eso...

Symptom: Attribute 193
WD drives are designed to reduce power consumption, in part by positioning the heads into a park position (unloading the heads) and turning off unnecessary electronics, resulting in substantial power savings. WD defines this mode as Idle 3. Some utilities, OS's, and applications, such as some implementations of Linux, for example, are not optimized for low power storage devices and can cause our drives to wake up at a higher rate
than normal. This effectively negates the power-saving advantages of low-power drives such as WD's RE2GP and artificially increases the number of load-unload cycles.The number of systems using such applications and utilities is limited and customers can resolve this symptom by optimizing their systems to not wake up the drives unnecessarily every 10-30 seconds or so, thereby gaining substantial power savings and eliminating superfluous activity.
Affected Models
WD RE2 GP WD1000FYPS-01ZKB0, WD7500AYPS-01ZKB0, WD7501AYPS-01ZKB0
Solution
Most customers, when made aware of the unnecessary activity caused by their systems, have modified their utility, OS, or application to take advantage of WD's advanced power-saving mode. Other customers have requested a utility to modify the behavior of the drive to wait longer before invoking Idle 3 mode. Although such a change eliminates significant power savings during periods of inactivity, WD has created an update for those
customers wishing to maintain their existing utilities, OS's, and applications. This update is described in WD's Process Change Notice PCN 2579-701324-A02 and is available through WD'sThe update also supports a low-power spin-up feature optimized for highly energy efficient, large scale storage applications, which is enabled using a utility also available at the support link above.
Por tanto, para todos los usuarios de Bandaancha que tengan un SEAGATE de 7200 rpm y alguno con WDs de 1000 gb y 750 GB de la serie verde... pues lo dicho. AL LORO y a ACTULIZARSE... por diversos motivos.
un saludo.
