There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I understand that drives don't often fail, this is the first drive I have ever had fail and I have drives that are over 5 years old still kicking, but having a drive fail in 7 months, and fail so completely that i can't recover anything, and my only option is a $700 recovery fee is kinda crummy, I would think they would have something in place for data recover for drives that fail so quickly.
don't waste your money on their recovery protection, just buy a second drive and raid it together. they don't offer any realistic options on recovery.
Now the issue I did have was probably a Windows 10 issue because I all diagnostics showed the drive to be 100% ok. When I first installed the drive and tried copying files to it (through Windows Explorer and SynchBak), it would be super fast at the start and then plummet. Like to KB/ s. It was horrible. I tried a million things online to try and fix it and none worked. Finally some people said reinstall Windows. Now it is much easier to do a Reset with Windows 10 but since I had never done a clean install since I upgraded from 7 way back when, I opted for a totally clean install on my SSD. Once I did that, the drive worked perfect. Again, not sure why it struggled so much with just this new drive as I have replaced data drives in the past with no issues. But clearly something was jacked. Given what I read online, I don't blame Seagate for this issue but I almost sent the drive back since it was driving me crazy and if the disk diagnostic from Seagate didn't say it was fine, I probably would have. Glad I didn't even it was the nuclear option to get it working.
This smacks strongly of Seagate trying to limit losses due to a technological fail causing the drives to not last as long as they were expected to. I've read articles about how the high capacity HDD drives that are filled with inert gasses like Xenon weren't lasting as long as they were supposed to, I believe this is where that reality is translating into company policy: regardless of what they tell you the warranty is when you are purchasing them, the company is using cheap tricks to avoid actually having to uphold that warranty.
Personally, I don't really care about the drive replacement, it's the data reliability that hurts. Most people, myself included, switched to SSD for main system storage over a decade ago. But I was still using HDD for cold storage, which I am reluctantly realizing is no longer something anyone with critical data should be doing. SSD storage is ~2-4 times as expensive, which pinches, but drives need to be able to last 5-10 years for cold storage to be viable, and I'm seeing 2-3 years on these drives. Do what you like, but I wouldn't count on these drives to be as reliable as claimed in product descriptions, nor would I count on the company honoring the warranties if you run into issues. For me, at least, the age of HDD has come to an end.
