August 10, 201213 yr I added 3TB drive (and that was a trigger to upgrade from 4.7) The led is green all the time. How can I troubleshoot this? Is there any disk activity? If not - what might be the reason?
August 10, 201213 yr I added 3TB drive (and that was a trigger to upgrade from 4.7) The led is green all the time. How can I troubleshoot this? Is there any disk activity? If not - what might be the reason? First, which 3TB drive are you having the problem with. Second, I recall having read that certain drives for some reason, do turn the activity light on when there is no activity. I don't believe there is cure for the problem unless disconnecting the LED is considered a solution.
August 10, 201213 yr It is Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 I have two of these same drives installed in Monoprice 'hot-swap' drive enclosures and the activity LED's are always on. My server is in a storage room in the basement so I have simply ignored the problem. I seem to recall that this issue with these drives has been discussed before without resolution.
August 10, 201213 yr If it really bothers you, you can update firmware to CC4H. See link in the following reply. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18812.msg186648#msg186648 PB

See link in the following reply. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18812.msg186648#msg186648 PB thanks indeed, it bothers me.. however, since the drive is already installed and has some data, is it possible to upgrade it? I assume I need to buy some USB cable?
August 11, 201213 yr Author Can I use one of the SATA-USB adapters? Or docks, like this one? http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?S=1268&ID=1981
August 12, 201213 yr I have the same problem and I tried upgrading my firmware, but my Seagate ST2000DM001 shipped with Firmware- CC9C and the updater said "Model matched, but firmware not compatible"
August 12, 201213 yr Author I have the same problem and I tried upgrading my firmware, but my Seagate ST2000DM001 shipped with Firmware- CC9C and the updater said "Model matched, but firmware not compatible" Ok, (1) I got exactly same issue.. help !!! (2) I bought Thermaltake BlacX 5G - but the hard disk is not even detected by the update... so I put it into my child's computer.. and then got the 'firmware not compatible' error.. Uhh
August 13, 201213 yr Author I made some research: actually, I bought two disks, one went to (new) parity, another for data, and that's data drive, which has 100% green led lit. Its firmware is CC9C, while the firmware of the parity (good) drive is CC4C. CC4C I can probably upgrade to CC4H (but I do not see any reason), as for the CC9C - the only firmware available on the Seagate's website for this drive is CC9D, and I have no clue if it is supposed to resolve this specific issue. --Michael
