Seagate 160GB External Hard Drive ST1600826AR PC and Macintosh
Beware! Didn't even make it past 3 weeks!
About a month ago I invested in this Seagate drive to serve as a data storage drive. I've had a AcomData 160 for years, so I know how useful an external harddrive can be.<br /><br />Anyway, it worked great for two weeks and then it crashed. Suddenly, my machine would not recognize it and neither would any other, Mac or Wintel. So I initialized the drive and started working with it again. It started working fine again...for one week.<br /><br />I guess I should be grateful it went bad in under 30 days, because I was able to get my money back from the store I bought it from, but the data lost and the deadlines missed as a result I can't accept. I know that there's always a chance of getting a bad drive from even the best manufacturer, but lasting less than a month does NOT fill me with confidence when it comes to Seagate.
