I like seagate. A few months ago I send in my 300GB drive for RMA. And 3 days later surprise surprise… they ship me back a 500GB drive! I like their fast shipment and generosity.

I’ve only had one drive die on me ever. It was a Seagate.

Did I menttion their warranty service is crappy!

Unlike WD that send me the Hard drive first for FREE (while just holding my CC), seagate wants you to send the drive in first… or pay up for shipping it out first.

I’m not even going to bother sending in the drives… going to replace all with WD.

I used to like Seagate because of their leading in the HD area, but now…
Seagate sucks. 3 out of 4 Seagates in my server raid system died in one month. While the Western Digitals over two years older are still working fine.

my buddy’s laptop and external were both Seagate and they dies the same time, even though one was brought on the trip and external stayed home. Guess what… same exact models and same manufacture time.

More Seagate come back to my shop broken than any other drives. WD and Hitachi drives that do come back are at least 3-4 years old.

Will NEVER buy Seagate again.
