SSD Firmware

Specific to 0006 Firmware on the 200GB, 400GB or 800GB SSD drives, there is a rare condition where low input/output activity can cause premature failure of individual SSDs. The drive, once it has failed, it is not recoverable and it must be replaced. The 0007 Firmware has a specific fix to address this problem. Affected drive serial number format starts with "ST".

The following 200GB, 400GB, and 800GB SSD models are affected:

Seagate ST200FM0053 Seagate ST200FM0073
Seagate ST400FM0053 Seagate ST400FM0073
Seagate ST800FM0053 Seagate ST800FM0073
