    Samsung 2TB green drives defective firmware?

    Wondering if other folks are seeing the same thing I'm seeing. I just ran (successfully I believe?) f4eg.exe on 8 drive. For each drive, I would run f4eg.exe the first time, see the normal success message, and then re-run it the 2nd time without powering down yet. For all of the 2nd runs, it...
