I've convinced myself that I can do better than keep returning Seagate Barracuda drives to the manufacturer under warranty.

So I'm looking for any information about the operating system within these drives that anyone can provide.

Clearly some scraps of information are Out There, hopefully they can be brought together in one place.

Pointers, anyone?

The basic docs/commands are mentioned in the "BIG" thread about the 7200.11.
How much that info is 7200.11 specific and/or to which "series" of hard disks do apply is unknown.

Very useful, thanks. A few dead links if you follow them, but here's one I found which I don't want to lose:
