Both failed after the end of the warranty period. On a portable (1Tb), the firmware has crashed - farming at the physical level helped. The data is therefore lost. The second one (2Tb) jammed, studied the Internet - it turned out that there were a lot of such failures. They write how after the "fly CC" it is possible with a high probability to restore working capacity - I did not succeed, and the symptoms do not converge, and it lies like a "brick". The worst thing that happened was at the time of writing the dissertation. everything was on this screw, because the system is on the HDD - I had to work out all the material from the very beginning. Now I donβt even look at SeaGate and Baracuda, as experts write that even SeaGateβs server HDD line does not shine with reliability. And everything would be fine, but among other things, the difficulty lies in the fact that SG can be bought under completely different brands. It's kind of like how the same matrix can be used on different LG / Samsung / Sharp / Sony / Panasonic TVs, etc.
