I purchased item because it seem to be good value for money, About 10months later the hhd Started making click noise, so i looked up reviews and common fault's and it is a Very Very common fault in this, So i rang seagate about replacing it under warranty and my data, So they quoted me between £1000 to £1600 for the data and i had to pay for p&p

cant believe this, it has such great reviews i chose this over any other hardrive to buy, seems like a good choice. But did not get detected in my TV or PC, made beeping sounds. Changing the USB fixed it for a while but then same thing occured. The hard drive is just not detected. A common problem with Seagate, will not be buying frm them ever again! REALLY disappointed that i have to go and return it now and go through all that hassle.

Firstly great product hence the 5 stars but 1TB of disk space makes it power hungry and in certain scenarios a single usb lead is insufficient. If you're thinking of purchasing there is a proviso you should be aware of. See below my message to Seagate technical support team, hopefully they will rectify the inadequate usb cable, otherwise go and purchase a dual power lead cable from Amazon.
"The supplied short usb cable provides inadequate power to the 1TB Seagate Expansion Portable drive. Particularly if it's drawing power from PC the single usb cable is not up to the task. I was mistaken in thinking there was a problem with my portable hard disk and I returned product back to Amazon, who very kindly dispatched another and I duly received in the next couple of the days (excellent customer service, as always). I was reading on the Tech forum that certain portable hard disks require dual supply usb lead as some units require voltage in access of 500mva. I began to think that this might have been the problem with the Seagate.
On receiving the replacement product, I quickly put it through the test and much to my disappointment, I was experiencing the same erratic problem as before, i.e. it refuses to copy data onto the hard drive.
I had a dual usb supply lead from an existing external portable drive, which I borrowed. I swap the original Seagate usb lead with the dual lead and everything worked perfectly. The data from the PC transferred onto the portable at record speeds, 23 gb of data in less than 3 minutes. I suggest strongly that you replaced the generic single supply lead with a dual powered usb lead to avoid unnecessary complications with consumers. Less RMA's more happy customers!"
