I used to use Seagate drives exclusively with 8 drives in operation, 2 for about 12 years (2.1 & 6.4), and 6 others in 2 systems with 3 drives per system (40, 80, 250g, and 2x80 + 250g). Of those, only the 40g drive gave any trouble where the Win2k partition messed itself. The drive was stored for a while, data recovered via the Win98 partition and Partition Magic, and then used in a secondary system with the Win2k partition rebuilt.

I have 4 external drives. 500g, 750g, 1T, 2T. Only the 1T is a Seagate. ALL of the others are Samsungs. Which drive gives me the most headaches, has had to have all of the data backed up, has had innumerable Windows repair operations, a complete reformat, and still has the "Click-Of-Death"?

It is the Seagate drive. I have now sworn off Seagate drives and use Samsung drives for all new drives.

Now Seagate has decided that world cannot have reliable high performance HDDs and we must use their flaky rubbish instead. If they are better than you, buy them out and close them down!

Buy Samsung 2T drives while they are still available!

If Seagate wants to get my trust back, they must get the warranty to 5 years as it was before.
