[SOLVED] Seagate Iron Wolf 12Tb failure ( replacement drive ) ST12000VN008

[ym42]

After less than two years of use my IronWolf 12Tb failed. Replacement drive that they sent me does this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jhg7beilf3z8xdb/IMG_2816.MOV?dl=0
After a while it stops doing this, but while it is seen in Windows 10, I can not do anything with it as it shows I/O error. Why would they send me a faulty replacement drive???

I would never handle a drive like you have down, unless it is was designed for use in portable appliances. Your video made me cringe.
