save yourself some trouble later if you have any of those drives.
one day they will just suddenly decide not to work, not because there is something wrong, but because of a firmware error.
read that article, and contact them if the driveinfo finds one of them.
i happen to have 3 of those in various machines.

Indeed. I got a couple Barra's somewhere.

I posted up some info here a while back:
Seagate mess affects ES.2, 7200.11 & DiamondMax 22 Drives

I've got 3 ES.2 drives here, wasn't terribly happy with their level of info & support on these issues. I did re-flash my drives and am still puttering along on them though.

(edit: changed 'alone' to 'along' in my last sentence...)
