ldrax Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've come across a thread in this forum about the unfortunate circumstance of Samsung F4 drive, and unfortunately it's one of my drives! The three cycles preclear didn't report any error, though. The drive's production date is 2010/09 (which is earlier than the 'threshold' of 2010/12), and the firmware version reported by preclear is the original. Should I proceed using this drive? === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: SAMSUNG HD204UI Serial Number: S2H7J1AZ903545 Firmware Version: 1AQ10001 User Capacity: 2,000,398,934,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 6 Local Time is: Tue Oct 30 02:37:53 2012 Local time zone must be set--see zic m SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

jimwhite Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Update the firmware first. Do a search and you'll find a thread with the links to the firmware. I used the Japanese version since it changes the firmware number, the English one doesn't. Quote Link to comment
ldrax Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks Jim! I somehow feel that even after the firmware update I might not trust the drive. Want to get rid of it but selling it (even after firmware update) will feel like scamming the unsuspecting buyer. Quote Link to comment
jimwhite Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Why not use it? There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it. Quote Link to comment
