Seagate – ALL hard drives!
Seagate's Poor Product Quality and Service

Computers & Services

In the last decade I've possibly bought 10 Seagate drives. Four out-of ten EIDE devices must be delivered due to numerous issues (such as the traditional 'press of death'). Lately, significantly less than six months before I purchased a set of 1.5Tb SATA drives off Dell-Online. One I'd to draw from my workstation after I kept obtaining a Declining S.M.A.R.T. Standing attentive in Computer Resources. The 2nd, simply earlier this many weeks today, I'm having persistent issues n/its capability to study and create information. EQUALLY 'went south' in under 9 weeks

A great friend of mine who's a specialist has usually suggested Seagate devices, informing me "everything being identical their efficiency reaches the most effective of the checklist as well as their 5-year 'unconditional' guarantee is the greatest in the market." Fantastic. But let us search a little sooner at Seagate's largesse:

- overlook the trouble of operating test after check, asking over and over t/specialists while obtaining suggestions how better to identify an issue via boards.

- Let Us also overlook the p.I.T.A. It is likely to be preserving subsequently re installing oneis indigenous OS, all of the 3rd party application, the possible shocks one evening as time goes by discovering that whilst the Seagate travel was along the way of heading south it might have damaged a number of your computer data... Your investment lost production.

- YOU pack it deliver it AND PURCHASE TRANSPORT Seagateis faulty item (s) back again to them. (And oh, incidentally, you have to deliver CORRECTLY as Seagate lets you know to. Achtung!)

- And Seagateis large alternative? You spend whatever cost to Seagate or perhaps a merchant to get a *brand new* hard drive (approximately they state) AND YOU ENTER RETURN A RESTORED PUSH! Exactly what a offer!

- Need a little of aid from the live person? Anticipate to devote countless time-on store after which again on-line (whenever your phone is ultimately related) by having an off shore 'representative' who knows only what's on the selection of collection organization responds to many frequently asked questions. Got a problem or problem that is outside the cheat sheet set before them?"Please Meester Mike, maintain for me personally only a second while I check up on that..." And DO NOT ACTUALLY request to talk to a boss or be subjected to to some business consultant in the USA: In both instances you'll stick to-store for 10-20 minutes before, from from the orange comes a telco saving we have all noticed previously: "should you'd prefer to create a phone please hang-up and try again..."

Buy Seagate? (Or Maxtor since is area of the Seagate 'household'?) NEVER AGAIN!
