Yeah… I received my defective Seagate hard drive replacement after 3 days I returned it through RMA. It was sent from Singapore. The hard drive was labeled as certified repaired drive. Hmm… A common question came to my mind ~ should I use Seagate certified repaired hard drive? Anyway, I benchmark it. And the result looks promising. Hopefully, it can perform for years.

After you diagnostic faulty hard drive and discovered it was defective. Then it is time to return it back for replacement if still under warranty. Most of the hard drives come with 3 years limited warranty, but certain computer retail shop only covers for the 1st year. Therefore, you need to send it back on your own. How to return defective hard drive for replacement? Simple, just file a RMA request and process from there. Of course, you need to test it with hard drive diagnostic tool first. And make sure that it is really defective before sending it back…
It is time to diagnostic hard drive if you discover these hard drive failure symptoms. Some of the hard drive issue might be caused by software, therefore a hard drive diagnostic tool software is needed to determine the condition of the disk drive. Most of the hard drive companies like Seagate, Western Digital (WD) and SAMSUNG need you to check your hard drive condition with their own hard drive diagnostic tool before sending faulty hard drive for replacement (if still under warranty).

Warning, Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, DiamondMax 22, Barracuda ES.2 SATA hard drive owners. Yes, this is a very serious warning coming out from Seagate itself. Because your hard drive might become inaccessible when you power up your PC system. I got an error comment from an anonymous on January 11th, 2009. At first, I thought just an anti-Seagate wondering around and doing some damages to Seagate branding. However, I changed my mind after seeing this announcement.
Oh no… My hard drive is on the list!
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB hard drive was selected as my new system hard drive. As I mention before, I don’t care much about hard drive because it is the bottom neck of the whole system. So what does Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB hard drive can do?
