Look at all the other reviews - all the same problem with the same bogus "2 year warranty".

In addition, replacement drive was said to be a refurbished/repaired drive that would have a limited warranty (90 days or remainder of previous warranty on drive, whichever is greater).

I have owned 5 of these drives over the years and every single one of them has failed just as the warranty was expiring

The warranty is good for only 30 days after purchase

Seagate replaced the drive under warranty in each event but you can count on the drive failing near the end of the warranty period like clockwork

I can't be without a 4TB for a month and I will need to buy another in the interim so that warranty is useless

I will never buy a seagate hard drive again, the bad warranty and very poor product really turned me down from this company

This time, the warranty replacement drive went into the NAS, and I was forced to purchase a new cold-swap backup, since the failed drive was now outside the pitiful 2 year warranty

The first 3 died were just shy of 4 years old, the last one is barely 3 years old -- still outside of their terrible 2 year warranty.

It died (actually locks up the computer when plugged in via USB or directly via SATA) about a month after the warranty expired.

However, the warranty on the re certified drive is only like 90 days.

Seagate's warranty is good

doubtful Seagate will do anything since the warranty is up and working towards contacting the seller now along with data recovery for my backup files off this drive.

I want to write about how shady the warranty on seagate drives are

The warranty is terrible too

so it was out of Seagate's warranty which makes the product description about a 2 year warranty misleading at best, and a blatant lie at worst.

But, here we are 2 years and 5 months later (5 months out of it's warranty, of course), and my drive just died

Been working as it should for 1 year or so.

They work as they should.

Works as it should right out of the box.

Do yourself a BIG favor, and get a Western Digital or HGST drive as they will honor from DATE OF PURCHASE.This is the last Seagate drive i will ever purchase again.

This hard drive is not worth the money as it dies in less than a year

Works as it should, but it's pretty noisy.

Worked as it should.

Would highly recommend a backup drive to this one as in a mirrored RAID configuration.

It works as it is supposed to but if you get the 2TB, you're only actually getting 1.8TB

2T is a lot of data and works well for me
