Title: Fourth drive failure this year
Product review: I purchased a replacement drive to keep my business up while I wait for a warranty replacement for the fourth drive that is about a year old that has failed in several different cases this year. Seagate used to be very reliable, but even their 5 year warranty does not help when you lose a TB of data. Of the four failures, one was catastrophic and data was lost, one failed just after I transferred data, one started clicking, so I removed data from it, and the fourth passes all tests but windows 7 says it is failing twice a day. The latter does check disk very fast until it gets to a certain place on the disk and then grinds to a crawl, which is what my computer was also doing. It is very expensive to have backups of backups.I would recommend a different model disk. These were five year warranty disks that were only about a year old.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
