So how many more stories of these drives being absolute garbage do we all have?

Of all the drives I’ve ever owned. From Hitachi, Maxxtor, Seagate, Western Digital and others…this is the only one I’ve had that died. Apparently this is a trend with these particular drives?

This one is currently a paperweight

    I looked at one once and it died.

    In fact I tend to kill Seagate’s a lot lol, I generally avoid the brand.

      To be fair to them. I’ve had a lot of Seagate drives and they’re all still kicking (touch wood). It’s just this 3TB version a lot of people seem to have had an issue with.

      Mine died about a year into use after shucking from an external enclosure.

        I found that there are at least 3 types of HDD user.

        • Those that only use WD because every Seagate they touch or see just seems to die.
        • Those that use Seagate as they have WD’s dieing if they sneeze near them.
        • Those that have realised Toshiba still exist.
