Anton, Have you checked that the drives are all formatted 520 bytes per sector?
Seagate have on their website "Seagate Tools Enterprise" that will allow you to change this. http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/B7b.html

Hello,
I have an old F720 it has 3 9gig drives , but 2 of them are dead , i would love to be able to reuse this netapp but netapp drives are too expensive for me , as i use this stuff at home i'm not able to invest more .
I tried to make an 72gig fc drive to be reconized by the netapp but without any succes (i tried to downgrade the netapp to its very old version also) . But it sill dont want to flash the firmware on this segate drive .
Is there any way to make it work ?
I'm thinking about mount the fc array on an linux with an fc card and flash the disk firmware with the netapp firmware using segate flash utility .
Any help would be very apreciable . thanks an
