Title: Mine failed after two years, beware of known SEAGATE drive reliability problems!!!
Review: I bought this 160GB external hard drive an amazon in Dec, 2003 (based on the good reviews it received back then) and it lasted exactly for two years! A day before Christmas 2005 the drive would out of the blue issue loud clicking sounds in the middle of the night and by the next morning (when I discovered it), all of its partitions had become inaccessible and the drive had died. With the warranty only lasting one year (kind of tells you how much a company stands behind their products) I'm basically left with an expensive lemon. With so many reviewers on here now experiencing similar things in terms of reliability with Seagate's products I am really wondering if this industry should have more federal oversight that better protects consumers from such failures.
Is the review positive or negative?
