Customer Review: Failed drive after 1 month, all replacements have failed as well
Summary: 1 Stars

Purchased the drive brand new for my Dell laptop. Within one month the drive began "clicking" intermittently, each time causing my machine to completely lock up and freeze while it happened. At first I thought the problem would go away, but it progressively got worse and worse until I finally had to return the drive.

RMA is not free - you need to either pay for them to mail you a box and a shipping label, or pack it yourself. Next to impossible to pack yourself - they have extremely strict requirements about the amount and type of foam required, which can't be purchased at shipping stores. In other words, you are forced to pay Seagate for a replacement drive.

Received a new replacement and within 2-3 weeks the new drive started having the same issue. Returned that one as well and received a green label "refurbished" drive. The refurbished drive was constantly clicking right out of the box - I was shipped a defective drive. "Refurbished" basically means they tried to find the problem someone else had, couldn't, and shipped that problem drive out to me.

I'm not impressed. Not only am I out the cost of the drive, I'm also out the amount I spent for the "advanced replacement" process.

Like many of you, I read the reviews on Amazon and figured that maybe all of the bad reviews were because of the number of drives Seagate sells and only the bad people complaining. Boy was I wrong - these drives are complete lemons. Beware - don't make the same mistake I did!
