Seagate
has admitted failures in a range of its disk drives, which
prevent accessibility to user data.
As well as losing access to data on their disks, users find the
disks are also undetectable to the computers they are mounted
in.
The drives affected are the Barracuda 7200.11, the DiamondMax 22
and the Barracuda ES.2 Sata models.
Seagate said "the data becomes inaccessible to users but the
data is not deleted" on the affected disks.
Seagate said the problem was caused by faulty firmware on the
drives, which were manufactured in December 2008.
