gah... I have the SD15 fw on my 500gb 7200.11... I guess it's time to upgrade to the fix-fix fw.

So is there a way to bring bricked 1Tb drives back to life?

Is that bad? I have the exact same things on my health tab, I've been running for 339 hours and have run smart scans, full error scans and no errors or bad sectors detected. Am I at risk? My firmware is CC1H

sr0 is the cd or dvd drive, not the harddisk.
Maybe the drive had a scratched cd or dvd?

Enter your serial to see if it's affected.

I have three 500GB 7200.11 HDs. I have had two fail in the past nine months (66% fail rate...not good) My drives didn't brick but began acting erratic. The first was a drive in a raid-0. The second drive began failing 3 weeks ago. It began acting erratic and failed SeaTools short drive test. I now have 3 working drives, all with SD15. I've been waiting a bit to update the firmware just to make sure we don't need a fix of a fix of a fix. I'll probably give it a whirl sometime this week.

Well, crap, looks like I'm deeply screwed. I was planning on flashing the drive today, only to find out it died during the night (ST3500320AS). Not only that, but now it's not detected in BIOS, So I can't flash anything (Got to the setup, Chose option A but obviously no drive detected). Tried all the disconnecting\reconnecting combo's, but nothing helped. Luckily my OS is on the old WD. Might have to RMA with a new one and lose all data. :down:
