Seagate 40GB 7200rpm

[dexmax]

Last year since Jan. I managed to crash 3 new Seagate 40GB 7200rpm. The first 1 i used for about 2months, then it crashed. it was replaced with a new one which i used it for another 2-3months, then crashed. again it was replaced, after 6 months -- a crash! it was again replaced. just recently, it crashed again and i'm just waiting for the replacement to be delivered--again... all those data lost! and everytime, i didn't back-up!

whats wrong with seagate drives! they used to make great drives. my maxtor hdds doesn't have problems like this.. my maxtors, wd hdds last for at least 2-3yrs.

anyone having the same problems seagate drives?

I have a seagate 40 gb 7200 rpm and before it was detecting it as something else, then I changed the IDE Cable and it works perfectly with no errors at all.

My Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 40GB hard drive is still running stong and as quiet as ever. Had it for 8 months so far.

Sounds like something is wrong. Personally I won't touch a Seagate.
I use Maxtor, WD or Samsung for my boxes.

I run 4 40 gig 7200rpm barracudas on this rig for over 2 years now and they all run great.Quiet as well.

Had one die on me more than two years ago,was a 20 gig and it was noisy from day one. :t

How many more crashes do you think you will need before you realise the value of "BACKING UP" ????
