Negative Positive
Title: Broke down within couple of weeks
Review: Got it a couple of weeks ago, after seeing its good reviews.Worked great for a couple of weeks..I filled it with 200GB of backups and music. Yesterday it broke down, despite having a power surge protector. It looked like power issue, as I heard a sound...while running and my OS no longer could see the USB drive.The most unfortunate thing is that Seagate provides no free data recovery services, even under warranty...they can only replace...which is really bad...their data recovery services are priced/charged based on data size recovered...i think.Luckily, I did not erase all the source data...just lost about 1GB in all...trying to recover it through data recovery services...but this really is bad. Looks like seagate does not care about maxtor products...as they offer exchanges for defective maxtor products under warranty by new maxtor drives or OLD refurbished seagate drives.
Is the review positive or negative?
