My external hard drive cost me $150... to retrieve the data when this cheap drive broke is $1500?? Something is not right. I just need 23 people to NEVER buy a Seagate FreeAgent External Hard drive
My 1.5 TB drive laasted 8 days, just long enough for me to backup all 1.2 TB's of information in preperation for a format, when it fell about 3 inches,
dead,
I have it dismantlled and sitting on my desk, an eternal reminder to always research a product before i buy it, and when choosing a laptop or desktop replacement, if the compnay sources their drives from seagate to no longer provide that computer manufacturer with my business again either,
Tonight I was on line trying to find info to get my seagate freeagent go. I came across your video and read online blogs that really discribed sooooo many problems with this company's product. I am trying to see how to launch a class action lawsuit against the company because something is really wrong. I think it is there intention to have there product defective and then charge you to fix their defective product. i am online tonight tring to locat an attorney.
this happened to me just a few days ago - same thing with seagate, they sent me to a data recovery company - I just bought the external hardrive within 30 days!
first, your audio is out of sync in this video. Secondly, the new model Seagate drives are utter garbage. Check newegg. The new model (7200.12 series) received horrible reviews. FWIW it's not just the external drives. Bare, internal PC hard drives have the same issue. I have a several year old 500GB model (7200.10 series) that works flawless and reports 0 errors. It is truly a quality control issue with the new drives. I bought a Samsung instead.
