Oh, I love DOA hard drives.
Yeah, so I bought four Seagate 7200.11 hard drives from Newegg earlier in the week. I got them, and slowly figured out that two of them were bad. Brand new. Terrific. So, now, I’m paying for the return of them, a restocking fee, and eating the shipping from the original order. That’s just great. If only one were bad, I’d get it replaced.. but two? It makes me nervous putting my data on the two that work. Anyways, that’s life I guess. It figures that the first hard drives I buy in over 8 years that aren’t Hitachi are bad. Sorry Hitachi, I won’t let you down next time.
