Has anybody else had issues with Seagate that last 4-5 months?
I've had in total 4 1.5Tb 7200.11's, 2x 7200.11 500gbs, and 1 7200.12 die on me. No power surges or heavy usage, they run all day that is all. I currently have 4 x 2tb and 2 x 1.5tb along with a 40gb seagate in my server and i'm getting scared. While I typed this, it 'clicked' and froze the computer again.
Seagate RMA has always been great, but with the amount of drives i've sent in, it's getting very annoying (and expensive). My dad's 500gb died, I could tell becuase of the random lock up which is what my htpc is doing now. He bought a Samsung F3 because even he was getting annoyed at the drive dying constantly. Once I get this 1.5tb from RMA, I think my 5 year love for Seagate is going gone.
WD - X
Seagate - X
That leaves me with Samsung
I'm running out of drive manufactures to hate.
Edit: Locked up 5 times while I wrote this.
SEAGATE hard drive are failing thats why they remove the 5 years warranty back to 3 years
i just lost one of my 1TB 7200.12 drive which all it does now is CLICK CLICK CLICK! (it mean f*** y*** in hard drive language)
this is my second seagate failure in 2 years. goodbye seagate .. they bought maxtor... it looks like they became maxtor ... cheap and unreliable hd
