I feel your pain! Mine wasn't a 'fall off the table' failure either but something is going on with the heads on mine and all my data is currently stuck and not accessible. I'm having to buy another one so I can cannibalize it so I can get the other one up and running to get my data off of it. Next time I'm sticking to SSD!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have purchase 12 of these and performed file transfers in mass of the entire 4TB multiple times. I have had no problem at all on any of the transfers, except when I had a house power flicker. I just restated and continued.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.not sure how that's a question...if you need to use the drive for extended periods of time, make sure your device is connected to a power source. Its recommended to use a powered drive if you plan to use it extensively.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Return them. Best buy will replace it if you didnt void the warranty. I've been using mine for over a year and I have had no issues what so ever.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought two a week ago and had no problem writing 500GB to them. I have them in a mirrored storage pool so the data was written successfully to both.
