Time for an update on this running saga.
I still haven’t had a personal reply from Seagate from my support request one week ago (see part 3). However they have released a number of firmware upgrades (see part 4).
We will see whether this is the end of the matter or not. As a veteran Seagate user and evangelist this is a very disappointing saga but I am not ready to run away yet. I still believe they are the most reliable drives around but I am going to be a lot more circumspect about them and monitor this story carefully to see if there are any longer term problems.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
