Guys, I'm gonna RMA my Seagate Barracuda 320GB. I've done all those filling form thingy at Seagate website.

When I post the package to them, which pos I should use? Poslaju or PostExpress?

How should I wrap the HDD in order not to get damages when posting?

How about the payment? When they post back to me, who's the one who pay?

Sorry for being a noob, really need help here.

Where Seagate ask you to send to? You can opt for Nationwide Express or something similar, pack it with anti static bag. Put it as fragile. Seagate will ship you back a different drive at their cost.

Just sent in 2 WD drives (640GB AAKS) for RMA through their website after they start developing bad sectors. The 3 year warranty for these drives expire July / August next year. Hopefully, the RMA process goes quick and smooth.

For me I would ask help from any nearest retail shop for their advice to sending RMA. Perhaps they can help u send for you but there's a cost.

Barracuda 320GB is the hottest harddisk in my RIG btw. Big chance for failure if it does not cooled sufficiently.

Hey guys, I just bought a 3.5" Samsung F3 Spinpoint 1Tb (hd103sj), a usb 3.0 dock and a usb 3.0 expresscard to hook to my laptop. I have set them up but I'm not sure if the speed is up to par for usb 3.0 or that I miss something. Attached in spoiler is CrystalDiskMark and CrystalDiskInfo on my new hdd, please comment, thanks in advance notworthy.gif

There's some bottleneck some where, either your express card slot?! or your USB3.0 dock, but I have doubt about the dock having bottleneck.
For reference purpose, please have your dock connect to a faster system, maybe hook up a friend's USB3.0 ready system and test.
Oh, not to forget to post your laptop model and specs here as well so everyone can suggest, comment and research. hmm.gif

Something is not right. It looks like it's still stuck at USB 2 speeds?
