...advanced dreams: Seagate FreeAgent

07 December 2007

So, I guess, those 5 Seagates I buyed today are the last ones. Moving along to other vendor. This is just unacceptable behavior from one, used to be, serious vendor. I had really high opionon about Seagate NS series, but with steps like this, I can only say;

Goodbye.

Your links aren't coming up for me. I'm not sure if they are bad links or if the server is just overloaded. I thought you might want to know.

I have know idea what your post is about. I just bought some Seagate drives and I'm curious.

There are workarounds for this behavior -- but yeah as the owner of a FreeAgent it is an annoying problem.

For those who don't want to follow links, long story short these drives decide to go into a standby mode after certain amount of time, and the first action you try to issue to the drive during standby will error out, but then the drive spins up. This is not supposed to happen, and can cause filesystem corruption and all kinds of weird behavior.

If they don't support linux I won't be buying their drives either - their choice.
