Problematic Seagate Hard Disks?

[yaj]

Unfortunately, the drive contained confidential data, so we could not easily return it. Luckily, we found a procedure on the internet that allowed us to flash the drive, so we got it working again.

In my experience working with computers, seagate drives are very reliable so this is quite a shock for me. Maybe they should not have merged with maxtor?

Sir, I had the same problem. I bought a Seagate HDD SATA. Ginamit ko na pang RAID sa server namin. You could return it naman eh, papalitan nila yun hard disk. once proven na may problema talaga papalitan nila yun. tapos email ka sa seagate, ireklamo mo yun product..nagrereply naman sila sa mga ganon na situation.

OEM style. (no box, just the anti-static bag).

Ok.

Yup. Those are the ones I avoid. I prefer the small premium of a boxed/retail hard drive.
