Wow, Seagate have been the Sony of hard drives this past year. Damn. I pretty much exclusively buy Seagate, so I'm knocking some wood right now.

I applied updated firmware to my 1.5TB drives as soon as I got them, which was a little while after Seagate finally released their fix. At the time I had to live-chat to get the firmware files as they weren't available for free download.
