    and what about the people who now have all there HD broken?? and can't flash them to fix etc??
    The drives are only bricked in that the drive itself cannot access the platters. Seagate said multiple times that reflashing the drive with the new firmware will bring it back to life. The actual workings of the drive is still fine. Like if you have a bad bios-flash on your video card. You pop in another video card, and have the flashing utility flash to the borked card.

    If a person only has one drive, then they can go to a friend and have them burn a CD with the new firmware. But I'm assuming anyone who actually had the knowledge to know to try a firmware flash would have a backup solution
