Seagate ST3400601U2

Seagate drives will fail in many different ways. They can suffer electronic faults, factory firmware failure and mechanical failure.

Electronic Failure: An electronic fault will develop on the controller board. This failure will often involve multiple components. With failures of this type the drive will appear dead and will not be recognised by the Computer BIOS.

Factory Firmware: This is the software code that makes the drive function correctly. On Segate hard drives the Firware is prone to corruption which makes the drive and all data inaccessible. Drives with firmware corruption have some of the following symptoms:

1. Be recognised incorrectly in the Computer BIOS.
2. Not be recognised at all in the Computer BIOS

The most common fault with a Seagate drive is when the Seagate hard disk will start and is recognised in the computer BIOS but the computer will then run slowly and will stall the computer. A 'ticking' sound will also be coming from the Seagate hard drive.
