Title: Yet another dead after 2 years
Review: I purchased this drive for my Windows system in July 2005. It worked fine as a backup drive until exactly 2 years later, when, similar to the experiences of other reviewers, one night it started making loud clicking noises as though trying to calibrate itself, and after that it could never mount again, and in fact attempts to attach it caused other data transfers to hang until after I unplugged it from the USB port. Seagate's online diagnostic was actually helpful in identifying several dozen bad sectors, and its conclusion was that I should back up any data on the drive because it was hosed. This was impossible however (lucky there was only backup data on the drive), so I am now the owner of a very sturdily constructed 160GB doorstop.
Is the review positive or negative?
