Seagate STDR2000302

Dangerous Rubbish. Do NOT BUY – I bought 2 of these hard drives. Both died after minimal work and very careful handling. Neither could be salvaged or their contents by tech professional. Seagate makes it impossible to contact them so you loose: *your money you spent on the hard drives *your work stored on the hard drives *then you loose your time vainly searching for contacts at Seagate or having to sort through endless frequently asked questions that don't apply still not to be able to fix the problems. *Then you loose even more time and even more money in vain taking the hard drives to tech professionals who can't get them working again either.

I have a Seagate expansion desktop drive as well that just died for no apparent reason taking with it years of hard work too. Seagate are the WORST hard drives I have ever used. They are total rubbish. 3 out of the 4 that I have had died. I have only ever had the Seagate hard drives fail.

All the other hard drives I have continue to work without fault.

Seagate pale in comparison to Apollo Imation portable hard drives and My Passport portable hard drives which are by far better value, more robust and after years of work still dependable.

The worst part about Seagate is that they are more than happy to take the doe but then intentionally make themselves totally unavailable to avoid dealing with customers when their products predictably fail.

In front of me right now I have well over $400.00 worth of Seagate useless junk that has entrapped hundreds of thousands of dollars irreplaceable work, thousands of important personal files and almost all my families photos.

I would not buy another Seagate under any circumstances. I warn other not to buy Seagate products. It is too risky to pay for and use a product that will predictably harm my business operations again by failing and taking my and my customers digital assets with it.
