over the data from the 1 month old, warranty covered hard drive.
I had many drives in the past, both portable and internal. Had drive failures, paid for data recovery, never argued. This drive is not even 20 % used and dead after a month. I don't want a replacement because I cannot trust this company. Not because the drive failed but because how they not stand behind their product.
I believe if your drive fails physically after a month that means defective workmanship and it should be the manufacturer's duty to stand behind their product and at least examine the drive and if there is no sign of misuse, then a 1 month month old drive's data should be recovered free of charge to the customer. As a business owner, the is what I do and that is what I expect. Sorry Seagate, that is the last drive I buy from you and I don't want your unreliable replacement.

过去我有许多驱动器，包括便携式的和内部驱动器。驱动器故障，为数据恢复支付，从来没有意见。但这个驱动器甚至都没有使用超过20％，就在一个月以后用坏了。我不想要换一次货，因为我不能相信这家公司。不是因为驱动器的失败，而是因为他们自身不支持他们的产品。

我相信，如果您的硬盘在买了一个月后出现故障，意味着工艺自身的缺陷，制造商有义务站在产品之后提供支持，至少该检查驱动器，如果没有误用的迹象，那么一个月的硬盘数据应该可以免费回收给客户。作为一个企业家，这就是我所做的，那就是我所期望的。对不起，希捷，这是我买的最后一个驱动器，我不希望再得到你不可靠的替代品了。

n to make noises and became invisible to the system.
We took it out and gave it to the official service for diagnostics. Experts from the service opened hermetically sealed block and saw serious damages to the disk (shown at the picture), and told us it is impossible to restore information. HDD heads caused severe damages. It’s really a disaster (. No one was able restore this disk, as they said to many donors (the same disks) are needed, but no one guaranteed successful restoration of data from the disk. Information, collected while 4 months of operation, was lost and doesn’t exist anymore.
There are lots of feedback when people tell that disk operated for two weeks or even less. It would be not so bad, as I collected information for 4 months and I can’t return it now.
There are disks of Transcend and WD, companies and when they are out of operation it is really easy to restore information. You will pay for that, but you will restore information without problems. And Transcend and WD disks were issued during 3-5 years, and issuing of this one needed only 4 months.

When I bought these disks in August there were no negative reviews regarding operation of this device. There were only nice reports and ratings, which after this case is really hard to believe in. I ordered the disks in the USA with the help of Amazon.com, paid for delivery and hoped that goods from the USA are of high quality and are tested comparing to Ukrainian products. But, unfortunately, the quality of the goods is just the same. We really thank Seagate for this, for cheap Chinese disk, which is not even tested and checked, for paid reviews (with good ratings, but absurd for future). For today I understand that I will never buy anything from this company (not from enterprise series) and will never recommend this company to my colleagues or friends.

我们把它拿出来交给了官方去诊断。服务维修专员打开了密封条，看到其中的磁盘严重损坏（图中所示），并告诉我们不可能恢复信息。 HDD磁头造成严重损坏。这真的是一个灾难（没有人能够恢复这个磁盘，因为他们说需要很多很多专业人员（同样的磁盘），但是没有人保证能从磁盘上成功恢复数据。运行4个月后收集的信息全部失去了，不再存在。

当有些人说磁盘运行两周甚至更少就坏了时，有很多反馈。这个更糟糕，因为我已经使用了4个，现在不能退货了。

属于创见和西部数据品牌的磁盘，当它们不能用的时候，很容易恢复信息。你需要付费，但是恢复信息毫无问题。创见和西部数据磁盘在3 - 5年内发行的，而这个问题很多的磁盘发行只用了4个月。

当我8月份买下这些磁盘时，没有对这个设备做出负面评价。当时只做了很好的说明和评价等级，在这种情况下，真的很难相信，我在亚马逊的帮助下，订购的美国磁盘，支付交货，并希望来自美国的货物质量会很高，还做了测试，与乌克兰的产品做了比较。但不幸的是，商品的质量是一样的。我们真的非常感谢希捷，对于廉价的中文磁盘，甚至没有经过测试和检查，付费评论（得到好产品的概率多，但用久了就不好说）。今天我明白，我永远不会从这个公司（不是指企业系列）购买任何东西了，也不会把这个公司的产品推荐给我的同事或朋友。

and wont be recognized by any computer. Seems like this is a common story in the reviews. Buy at your own risk, and whatever you do, never have valuable documents only on this drive for any moment of time. Being a brand new hard-drive, I thought I could move files to it and then back up to the cloud the next day, and that mistake has cost me dearly.

the back burner. The hard drive was not abused in any way.

That being said, I bought two of these at the same time - one in silver also (if that makes any difference at all). That one is working fine under heavy daily use, but I do not feel confident about the important data stored on it after the gold one failing. Before the failure, these would have gotten 5-Stars, but after less than a month, and probably less than 10 minutes of use, if it fails to do it's only job it does not get any sort of recommendation from me.

I would consider this a "buy at your own risk" product.

也就是说，我同时购买了两个 - 银色的也买了一个（如果这有什么区别的话）。 那个在日常使用中工作的很好，但是我对金色的那个失败后再存储的重要数据已经没有信心了。 在失败之前，这些人感觉得到了五星级的产品，但是在使用不到一个月之后，可能还不到十分钟的时间，它可能就坏掉了，然后唯一的功能也不能用了，这使得我不会向任何人推荐这个产品。

我认为这是一个“花钱买风险”的产品。
