CRITICAL: Seagate Hard Drive failures (see if your hard drive is affected)

[Visual C#]

---

i think if have your Official Receipt (and the sticker of ATP) from the store where you bought- they will entertain you...




BTW- ill take these chances
Kanang mga nakapalit nako- if your HDD are included on the list and experiencing these kind of bug- im open for negotiation to claim for warranty and replacement in the factory
but be sure that your hdd still with factory warranty
just send me pm

That'd be good.. however, will the retail store take care of flashing the firmware once the drive is bricked? Or is it going to be Seagate support, and will it take like a month to have it replaced or just flashed? There's also the possibility of them replacing the hard drive, but with the same firmware.

If this doesn't get fixed soon, I'll switch to WD or even Samsung.

EDIT:

Stickying this thread as this is is something that every computer user should know.

I believe you don't need a receipt to claim for warranty....Im talking about seagate warranty and not the store warranty.

Check your HD's serial and model number tru seagate website if it is still under warranty.
File an RMA request tru there website and send your defective HDs to Seagate (mine was shipped to an address in Manila)- Php106.00 (2 HDs) via Air21..

You will receive the replacement HDs in no time all the way from Singapore via UPS...

this is my experience when I RMAed my ST31000340NS

Hassle Free jud ang Seagate when it comes to warranty. Mas madali pa gani magpailis ka directly sa seagate kaysa sa mga tindahan diri sa ato...

what the? are walking tru a valley of death?... if ang firmware nga naa sa atong drive ron are affected yet we dont feel any problem? does it save the drive forever? NO.... So if this Seagate could just release the vaccine right away, then by 50% ma relax atong huna huna... I have almost half the size of 500GB very important files! i don't even have single backups..... I couldnt say "man, i'll just wait till my drive dies"......

guys any update from seagate?

can anyone answer this?
