Title: Avoid This Product
Review: Please avoid this product. This past week, I dropped the drive about two feet ONTO A CARPET FLOOR as I was rearranging wires. Now it gives off a periodic beep and a constant hard-drive type hum, is not recognizeable by the PC at all, and is essentially dead. The problem is that I recently downloaded many, many GBs of irreplaceable data onto this drive. I suppose the mistake was mine to think I could count on such a simple product to be that reliable, but I guess the point is if you are planning to use this device to store data you can live without, by all means, go ahead. However, if like me, you would be virtually devestated at the loss of the data you might store on this, please avoid at all cost. I have no bone to pick with Seagate/Maxtor- I am just basically numb right now to think one tiny drop onto carpet would erase months of work in the blink of an eye. It's gone.
Is the review positive or negative?
