Anyone here have any experience with the Samsung ES-TOOL?
As I mentioned in another thread, I had a Samsung drive die, so I figured I would fire this up and test all my drives. So far, I'm 2/2 with getting errors when running the "Drive Diagnostic" test.
The error is: AJ41 - Ram Error but the rest of the tests pass just fine. I've gotten this error on 2 different drives, so I'm a little concerned. I've done some Googling and it appears that this was an error with the software in previous version:

For the record, I'm using the latest version from Samsung's site 3.01v. I've verified this in the software itself, so I'm one step ahead of the "bad" version of 3.01g that that thread references.
Does anyone here have any Samsung drives they would feel comfortable testing that version with? Or do you think the software is (still) buggy? Should I issue an RMA on these drives (these ARE under warranty, miraculously).
If the software IS buggy, does anyone know how to get in touch with Samsung?
Thanks!
