Modules of Barracuda
Modules of Barracuda
There are just 10 main modules related to the Barracuda family. The structure of the firmware is quite simple which makes data recovery from the Barracuda family a lot easier.
- Module 0 ALT: This is the G-list module
- Module 1 ATA: This is a ATA module which stores the protocols of the ATA communication and interface. It’s a very important module. After doing a SELFSCAN (except when the flow starts from either N2 or N5), this module will be damaged.
- Module 2 CERT: SELFSCAN codes
- Module 3 CERT TAB: SELFSCAN flow - Modules 2 and 3 are not important for the normal operation of Seagate drives.
- Module 4 INFO: Stores the HDD parameters including the model number, SN , LBA and so on. If a change to the model number or LBA is attempted but fails, this usually indicates the the sectors containing this module are damaged or that the module has become corrupted.
- Module 5 PL: This is the P-list module.
- Module 6 TS: This is the T-list module which is the compressed version of P-list.
- Module 7 APP: This is a loading module. This is quite similar to the loading module 41 in Western Digital hard drives.
- Module 8 SECT: This is an unimportant script module.
- Module 10 SMART: This is a SMART module as in many conventional drives.
