seagate detects my drive as 'possibly defective' with serial number checker, but as it has a LC15 firmware, I can't use firmware update procedure, as only works on s* series.
what can I do to be sure I don't miss my tb of data?
I have the same problem. According to the VAS, I must return the hard drive (ST31000333AS LC15).
This requires filling out a form here: https://store.seagate.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SgSSORedirect?storeId=11001&SSO_LOCALE_VALUE=en_us&url=SgCheckWarrantyView
