Title: Never buy seagate disks
Review: Don't buy seagate external disks. This unit has a defective power supply / circuit board which renders it useless eventually. (Which isn't that the very reason why we bought EXTERNAL disks in the first place, for power supply RELIABILITY and better HEAT MANAGEMENT?)However, don't throw it away. Pry open the base, remove the screws, open the unit and remove the hard disk. Chances are, the disk can still be salvaged. I recommend a reformat.I successfully salvaged mine and now it is having a second life as an internal disk.note: I also purchased a Seagate Expansion 1.5TB disk and barely 6 months it is giving me clicking sounds and unreliable delayed disk reads. It is a VERY COMMON problem mentioned right here in amazon reviews on this product and very soon I will have to salvage that too.I own external disks from WD and Samsung and none of them have given me CONSISTENT quality problems like SUCKGATE.
Is the review positive or negative?
