Drive Exchange

I’ve gotta send in my Seagate 200GB 7200RPM 8MB drive.  Twice it after I put so much data on it it looses all its formating and can’t be recovered by any software.  This is the first seagate drive I’ve owned and I’ve been incredibly happy.  This drive is huge, fast, and almost silent and at $99 for it I couldn’t lose.  Sure I lost some data but that is why I make backups.  I called the support people today and they didn’t even ask why I was sending it back, I just told them I needed it replaced and they started the process without any BS.  I like that in a company that I don’t have to go through my story.  I know when something is wrong and I know when it can and can’t be fixed, I don’t need a stranger trying to figure out my setup and trying to fix something that is unfixable over the phone.  So I’m off to the USPS to get the drive sent their way.  Hope to get the new one by the first of next week but who knows.
