Has anyone else had the firmware issues with their hard drives not reading the 32mb cache?

Seems to be with firmware AD4 drives (of course that's what OWC just sent me...)

I haven't even opened and installed the 1TB drives yet for fear that I may need to return them.

Is there any way to test your drive to see if you are getting full 32mb cache vs. 16?

I've checked many computer forums and this seems easy to do and then update firmware on your PC but I haven't seen how to test on Mac.

Any info is appreciated!

Just checked my drives and the firmware says 'AD04', not SD04 I was off. I think these AD04 are the messed up ones.

Anyone have any other info or know how to make these work on a MAC?

Thanks!

Have you done any testing to make sure it's an actual problem and not just a display error?
Does your usage really make the extra cache significant?
Are you having any problems with the drive or is it just the cache value displayed?
