Bump. I've had FOUR of these suckers, and every single one of them has just made it through the first year's warranty and then died completely... none of them are recognised by the BIOS any more, so of course "SeaTOOLS" doesn't see them either. On three of them, you can hear the heads seeking helplessly, like a lobotomised animal... the most expensive paperweights I ever owned. The ST3000DM001 is utter crap. Meanwhile, all of my WD drives are happily spinning away with no problems whatsoever. The fact that Seagate are still taking money for these drives, knowing that they are rubbish and fail relatively early, is outrageous.
