ct1478 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Does anyone know the difference between these versions of the same drive? The 9YN166 is the 1st gen and has firmware CC4H, the 1CH166 is currently shipping and has firmware CC43, is CC43 firmware newer and are they compatable? Link to comment
prtsmgr Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Here's a link that states the 9YN166 is made in Thailand and the 1CH166 is made in China and is stuck on firmware CC43. http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Barracuda-XT-Barracuda-Barracuda/st3000dm001-made-in-China-not-fit-for-purpose/m-p/176760/highlight/true Link to comment
ct1478 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 I checked the warranty on the 1CH166 drive I have and it is 2 yrs, also it was made in Thailand , I have some 9YN166 drives that were purchased the first part of this year and they were made in China with a 1 yr warranty, very very confusing.
