I bought a freeagent seagate external HDD, volume 1TB. I bought it in February this year, meaning its a little less than half a year old. i have been downloading mostly movies, tv, and music since then. since internet is not very fast where I'm from, i usually left it overnight downloading, just receiving data almost 24/7. it is now full of 800GB data. two days ago, i stopped booting my computer by manually holding the power button while the external HDD was connected to the computer. shortly after that, i started playing a forty-minute video from the hard drive to the television (Sony bravia's usb play). everything was fine until halfway through when it stopped playing. the tv stopped detecting the HDD and the drive began making cyclical clicking sounds. i tried ejecting and inserting the usb for the HDD several times, but it just detected the files and didn't play them. when i connected to my computer, the HDD is not connected. I mean, from the list of usb ports indicate they can detect a freeagent hard disk, but i cannot see it on "my computer". i left the drive to "rest" overnight and in the morning everything seemed fine. the computer and tv detected it without problem. after around two hours, it started making the noises again. now, my computer can't detect the HDD. the tv can detect it, but cannot play the files. it just makes that clicking noise, which is new, i've never had it before. I am giving you all this information because i need you to understand what the drive's been through and how old it is. sincerely, i don't think ANY electronic is supposed to last six months and start dying. its just a fucking rip-off! I need your help on this.
