Oh Seagate I hate.....

Ok so the last image is a speed test grab from a Firmware upgraded ST31000340NS 1TB Enterprise drive. FW v06

2nd.. from same spec drive, purchased at same time from same place. Had some issues in OSX with this one so Zero'd it out.

Firmware updates were from 4> v6 due to apparently "false bad block reports" Different to the AS bricked issues.

Now I know about the fake bad blocks on the NS drives and have updated the firmware.. obviously... it's actually screwed :(

Thing is.. I'd like to know whats actually causing the dips.... for future reference!
