Worthless Warranty.
Drive failed at just over 30 days old. Seagate replaced the drive with a "Factory Repaired Drive". We work in video production and would never save a few bucks with a drive that's been repaired. Even if they replaced the disk drive inside, the I/O board & it's connectors have been plugged & unplugged god knows how many times. They could fail tomorrow. I contacted them to request a new replacement & they were helpful at all. They told me that it should be just as good as a new one & that they would repair or replace it if it dies too.
To be fair though we have had over 100 of these drives & mailed them all over the world to transfer data. I've only had 3 of them to ever fail. But, a premium drive should be backed by premium service.
