There's a pretty serious storm brewing, with lots of people angry with Seagate over drives "bricking" themselves. Seagate is offering a firmware upgrade that it says will fix the issue. They're saying the data is still on the drives, and are apparently even offering a free data recovery service to get the data back if your drive dies. More info on The Inq, The Reg and even Seagate's Forums.
I've seen several places linking this URL as having an official explanation and fix from Seagate, but that just gives me an empty page at the moment. Tech-Report tried out the firmware fix and report on their experiences.
Anyway, there's a discussion thread here in our Storage & Backup forum, so keep on top of things in there. Thanks to Karlston for much of the info in this post!
