Failed, and Seagate won't honor warranty

Reviewed By: Andrew on 10/27/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Quick drive, inexpensive

Cons: Failed in about 20 months -- turns out not to have warranty.

Other Thoughts: Bought this in late 2006, and it supposedly has a three-year warranty. But Seagate refused to honor it, claiming (based on S/N) that it expired in October 2006.

Considering that the 7200.10 drives were first *made* in October 2006, and the date code on the drive is in October 2006, this makes no sense. And I'm tired of arguing with Seagate support.

You're much better off with a Western Digital drive -- at least until Seagate starts honoring its warranties.
