i having problem in SD1A just yesterday. I bought since last december and it was SD15.. i updated to SD1A last 2 weeks ago...but now the hdd having problem.. hard accessing the drive. i benchmark the drive the speed running at 3.3Mb/s...i also copying the files from tat drive and also formatting, the pc will very very lag ..sometimes will auto restart.. i checked the COmputer Management>Disk MAnagement from Administrative Tools, Control Panel...the drive says it is at risk... but i check HD Tune, all seems OK...but the Seagate tool also fails some test on tat drive..
so, i can RMA it ?

Basically if your Seagate HDD failed on SeaTools itself, you can request for RMA already

im from sarawak state. so i RMA to where? what is the address?
and also how to post it? in a box or wat?

-Contact them first; as from here: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/about/con...rt-contact-apac
-Or try using this form: https://store.seagate.com/webapp/wcs/stores...&shipToCountry=

-Hope this helps, thanks.


Regards.

this seagate bricks still a hot issue nowadays? seems like this forum become few ppl posting? so anyone still having the problem on 7200.11 drives?

it's 45 pages long and call it few ppl posting?

there are issues almost everyday

what are the steps tat i need to take to RMA the drive? what the checklist?
register my warranty on seagate website, perform return on the website, select the place to return, use the correct packaging, then? need any signature? after i send the drive to them, how they gonna send the repaired drive to me? using the order number or wat?......
and, im at sarawak....i decided to send to selangor there, when i gonna get the repaired one back?
and can i replace the drive with the higher capacity drive? or they just replace with the same model?
doesnt it need to let the seagate to verify if the drive need replacement before sending it to them? i mean...i just create the return order and then post the drive to them without having them to verify the drive beforehand? (get what i mean or not??)

if i got IDE 80 conductor cable faulty which connect to hdd (single drive, master) but still can boot windows normally....will it affect the SATA drive I/O reading and the SATA drive speed?..
i having a Maxtor IDE (boot drive) it can boot to windows normally, but the SATAII drive speed is very very slow and will cause the pc lag...
so my question is, the faulty IDE cable (which got connected to hdd); will it affect the SATA drive speed and I/O of the SATA drive?
(NOTE tat i hav 2 hdd, 1 IDE and another is SATA hdd)

they will send back the info based on what you registered in your website.

on website, can you check whether there is a pickup services?
