It is a ST3500320AS with Firmware revision SD15
I have tested it well enough. But still I am not sure.
1. Those errors were on AMD RS 690G
AHCI (with RAID), but I was not using RAID.
and changing SATA type to IDE would not help
Sometimes it would be missing because of the errors.
It has been very smart always (smartctl).
Recovered most data.
Three JFS partitions (logical) got badly corrupted (recovery would be
the nitpicking type)
Interchanging the SATA ports still meant a problem with the drive

2. Then I put it on another AMD 64-bit nvidia chipset system
The Seagate utility showed: SMART OK, but DST error 07 (always)
Then the PC would take quite a lot of time to even complete POST with
the drive in.
So I used the wipe utilities from system rescue CD and hdparm.
After that I made a few partitions and checked it again with the
seagate utility: this time it cleared the long test
(I believe this is due to the drive warming up and self-test being
enabled). Will check it after it cools down :)
