Seagate Technology 200 GB USB 2.0 and FireWire External Drive ( ST3200823A-RK )
Crashed After 30 Days
Used it for a month, it worked great and then dumped all my PC files on it so I could upgrade my PC. After upgrading I reconnected the External drive to restore my files and it never worked again. USB ports are fine as my camera and jukebox player are still recognized. Sent my HD out for Data Recovery and was told the heads crashed and they could not guarantee me how many files could be recoverd. The cost is anywhere from 800 to 2,000. This is the only time in 20 some years i've expierenced a hard disk crash. Seagate only warrants their externals for one year and Data Recovery is not warranted at all. So don't be like me and put 100% confidence in a HD without additional backups.
