Hi
Just received my brand new Seagate 1.5TB ST31500341AS yesterday. However i noticed from the 1st day after setting it up, it clicks every few seconds. Did do a search on the forums and the web and discovered a few concerns. As far as the drive goes once it up and running it fine.
Just ran the seatools and checked the serial for the drive as far their website confirms it has the latest firmware updated -'CC1H' the whole line was in RED though ??
My real concern is that i noticed my CMOS doesn't pick up the drive from a cold boot, just before POST it hangs for ages (like it does when detecting new hardware in CMOS) it eventually picks it up (saves) and then boots into windows.
It is doing this from every cold boot. shouldn't it only do this 1st time like all my other drives as it should retain this info only once. Noticed in hardware manager as well it only says ST31500341AS rather than the full drive name ie Seagate Barrcuda like all my other branded drive.
Should i be concerned? i am already thinking to RMA it if it going to be a problem. Only got this a few days so if i am best to do it ASAP.
Cheers
