• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

WARNING :To alls have buy Seagate hard disk .........

The impression I get from reading that is that you're OK, so long as you don't power it on. Which means that for the time being (until an update is available), you should probably avoid powering your computer off if you have one of the affected drives.

And whether your drive will be a problem or not depends on the firmware version you have.

Does that agree with others' interpretations?
 
My 2 barracuda 7200.10 's in raid seem to work fine. I guess it's just a prob with the newer drives?
 
Oh joy... I posted a question a few months ago in the computers section of Yahoo Answers about just this, having had it on two Seagate drives, and I was shouted down. Good to know I was right after all. *******s.
