Seeing so many RMA of many drives, also failure of Toshiba drives of less than 200 hours online (SMART) makes me take few steps back when I itch to buy external drives for portable uses... my Seagate Go 320GB has serve me well so far, only 1 RMA been done many years back, rarely use but sometimes just not enough to cater my needs (needs to transfer few times).
Reliability has been take a dump nowadays, luck has to be really darn good as well. |
