Seagate isolates 'potential' Barracuda flaw

[juneau]

After reports that its 1TB Barracuda drives are failing at an unusually high rate, Seagate says it has isolated a "potential firmware issue" that would seem to be the cause of this worldwide plague.

The company will provide a free firmware upgrade for those affected by the problem, and if you've lost data thanks to this firmware issue, it will provide free data recover services as well.

The article states that the problem is just with the 1TB 7200.11, however it's across all sizes of the .11 and also DiamondMax 22, and Barracuda ES.2 SATA drives
