But FYI, the new Seagate Barracuda 3TB ST3000DM001 drives I have here do
*not* support this feature. Has Seagate started crippling its
consumer-grade drives?
*YES*
They started sometime before June of last year, when I purchased some
Barracuda Greens to upgrade from the Barracuda 7200.12 models I had been
using.

The Hitachi Deskstar HDS5C3030ALA630 *does* support scterc.
If you look up-thread to my first reply on May 10th, I reported exactly
this phenomenon, and that Hitachi is the only remaining player still
supporting it in consumer-grade drives. (That I've found. I'd love to
discover that other players are changing their minds.)

Brian.
Regards, and my condolences on your purchase of the ST3000DM001 drives.
