I went to that link, and it appears as though the $79.00 drives are not the duff drives that require this firmware upgrade. DriveDetect.EXE tells me that the drive I just bought is an ST340810ACE.

Does anyone have any knowledge if that model number is one of the affected ones?

Also, the manufacturing date code on the drive is from February of 2009, if that's a factor.
