Seagate Firmware Family Lookup: From Model Number to Family ID

A Seagate drive's label carries a model number such as ST2000DM008-2FR102. The code after the dash is a part-number suffix; it does not name the drive's firmware family. Recovery labs work with the family, a technician name and a two-character hex ID, so here is how to look a model up in a list of 238 Seagate models, and what the answer means.

Quick answer

On a Seagate drive the code after the dash is a part-number suffix, not the firmware family. The family (for example Grenada or Rosewood) and its hex ID are internal technician labels that published records link to a model. Our list gives a family for 112 of its 238 models and the product series only for the other 126. Look up your model below.

The short answer

What is the code after the dash on a Seagate drive?

Seagate prints a model number on every drive label: one block, a dash, then a second block. The block before the dash is the model, which ties the drive to a product series such as BarraCuda, IronWolf, SkyHawk or Exos. The block after the dash is a part-number suffix.

ST2000DM008 - 2FR102 Before the dash The model: product line and capacity After the dash Part-number suffix: not the family CheopsLiteA · ID AD Firmware family Not printed on the label: from our list ST2000DM008 - 2FR102 ST2000DM008 2FR102 CheopsLiteA · ID AD Before the dash The model After the dash Part-number suffix, not the family Firmware family Not printed on the label: from our list
Reading ST2000DM008-2FR102. In our list this exact part belongs to the CheopsLiteA family, ID AD, and is marked as independently cross-checked.

Seagate does not print the firmware family on the drive. Technicians identify it from the drive's firmware, as a family name such as Grenada or Rosewood plus a two-character hex ID, and published records link many models to a family. That is what this list collects. The same model number can sit in different families: in our list ST1000DM003-1CH162 is Grenada, while ST1000DM003-1SB102 is Pharaoh Oasis. It is a working record, not Seagate documentation. The circuit board has a number of its own: the Seagate SATA PCB Lookup shows the board listed for a model and part number, and Seagate Data Recovery covers the drives themselves.

Look it up

Look up a Seagate model

Type the model number from your drive's label, the part after the dash, a family name, a product series or a two-character family ID. The list covers 238 Seagate models in 34 firmware families.

Type the model number from your drive's label, the part after the dash, a family name, a product series or a 2-character family ID.

Step by step

How to find your drive's family

  1. Step 1: Find the label

    Look on the top or side of the drive for the sticker. The model number starts with ST and is printed near the serial number. On a Seagate external drive the box and the case carry a retail model number; the bare drive inside has its own label with the ST model number this page is about.

  2. Step 2: Split it at the dash

    Everything before the dash is the model, which ties the drive to a product series such as BarraCuda, IronWolf, SkyHawk or Exos. Everything after it is a part-number suffix.

  3. Step 3: Look up the whole model

    Type the full model number into the box above. If that exact suffix is not listed, the box shows the other versions of the same model, because the family can depend on the suffix.

  4. Step 4: Read the answer with care

    A family and ID are the list's pointer for that model. “Product series only” means the list has no family for it, and “held for a firmware check” means the reports conflict. In both cases the family ID has to be read from the drive's firmware.

In the lab

Why a recovery lab reads the firmware family

When a Seagate drive has a firmware fault, failed heads or a damaged circuit board, a lab has to choose tools and replacement parts that suit that drive. The firmware family is a fast first filter.

What the family tells you

  • Which technician family the drive is listed under, as a name and a hex ID.
  • Which other models share that family and may use the same tools or parts.
  • Where to look next: firmware version, circuit-board revision and head map.

What it does not tell you

  • Whether a donor's firmware, head map and board revision really match.
  • Whether the ID is the same on every firmware version of that model: it can differ.
  • The condition of your drive's heads and platters, or whether your data can be recovered.

Don't flash firmware or swap parts at home

Writing the wrong firmware, or opening a drive outside a cleanroom, can turn recoverable data into lost data. If your Seagate drive clicks, is not detected or has stopped responding, power it off and call us.

Seagate model number FAQ

It is a part-number suffix. Unlike the part after the dash on a WD drive (see WD After Dash), it does not name the firmware family, and it is not a reliable way to work out the family or its hex ID.

An internal grouping that recovery technicians use, with a name such as Grenada or Rosewood and a two-character hex ID. Names such as BarraCuda, IronWolf and Exos are product series, not firmware families.

No. It is identified from the drive's firmware and from published records that link models to families.

No. The family is a firmware grouping, not a board number. The board is named by a nine-digit number that starts 100, printed on the board itself, and one model can be listed with more than one board. The Seagate SATA PCB Lookup shows the board listed for a model, part number and firmware.

Yes. In our list ST1000DM003 sits in Grenada or in Pharaoh Oasis depending on the suffix, and the Rosewood family appears under three IDs (8C, A5 and AE). An ID can also differ with the firmware variant, so check the drive when you are unsure.

For 126 of the 238 models our list confirms the product series but leaves the firmware family blank on purpose, because no published record we hold ties them to a family. We do not guess one.

5 models have conflicting reports. The list shows the family names reported and the possible IDs as given, and does not pick one: the family ID has to be read from the drive's firmware.

It is a working list of 238 Seagate models compiled for CBL from published specialist records. It is not an official Seagate list, has not been checked drive by drive and is not every Seagate drive ever made, so a match is a pointer, not proof. Weaker rows are marked in it.

No. The list covers 238 models, not every Seagate drive ever made. A free diagnosis at our lab identifies the exact family, firmware and board.

No. Power it off: hunting for parts, writing firmware or opening the drive makes recovery harder. A free diagnosis tells you what has failed, and you get a fixed written quote before any work begins.
