Problem with ST3000DM001 raid configuration

Hello

 

I have a serious problem with Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 with firmware CC4B . I have four of them working in RAID-5 configuration in an HP 410i Smart Array controller and every 2-3 reboots the raid array get destroyed or the controller tells me that one disk has failed. I have changed everything ( controller , cables , Hard Disks ) but the problem is the same. 

 

I have another machine with exactly the same hardware parts that is working flawlessly . The only difference is the firmware of the hard disks. The ones that crashing is CC4B and the ones that working perfectly is CC9B . Anyone knows where i can download the spesific firmware ? 

 

Thanks

Seagate's firmware updater won't allow you to crossflash CC4x firmware to CC9x. However, there is a CC4H update available for download:

BTW, have you checked your drives' SMART reports?
