@coolie4u Yes my Hitachi extern >1 GB does work a bit, but after now using it for a while it is now causing the same blue screens - i hate energy saving hard drives ! The old Toshiba drive with over 1 TB and without energy saving mode work´s well.
-
@UntakenNick The clicking comes from the stupid energy saving function. I hate it ! It causes blue screens and data loss !
-
@mmacritics send it back as long as you have warrenty - my dealer has given me the money back after 4 times (raid system) - don´t give up
-
@dq476 The old ones are working but none of the energy saving ones i get is working
-
@BoDyShor Only 2 hard drives crashed ? Have You ever get one that is working without blue screens ?
-
@Marek270409PL Firmware - I urgent suggest - NO don´t do this ! Do not update the Firmware ! You lose Your warrenty ! I have tryed it and it doesen´t work.

Your >1TB drive does realy work a bit ? - I am wondering - I have installed 8 and only the extern from Toshiba without energy saving is working. I have given it up to install a new hard drive. Yes it is taking a long time to load (sometimes) - often so long that theire comes a blue screen or huge sectors get lost ! When they are new they work sometimes, but after they are full they crash my system ! I hate energy saving hard drives !!!

The rumor is that Seagate has inherited Maxtor's poor (chinese) manufacturing and qaulity control practices. If people want HDD manufacturers to clean up their act stop buying their drives.
