A fix for the latest Barracuda bricking fault will be available in 24 hours according to Seagate. Quoting the hard drive manufacturer, "This firmware upgrade will be available on the Seagate website within 24 hours""
The fix, which is already the second, will be a firmware update to fix the previously released firmware (SD1A) that was released to fix the original firmware (SD15) which has caused some 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives and others to quit working.
Seagate is trying its best to assure its customers that data on their drives will not be lost as the firmware faults render the drives inaccessible but doesn't cause corrupted data on the drive. It is not usual to experience manufacturing problems and bugs in the tech industry but surely it is not easy to fix once a flaw in the technology is detected.
