About LinkBacksFunny thing is my 7200.10 drives seem stable as a rock, good reports from SpeedFan-had 2 of em for about 9 months.
Those who have had a few drives die-do you provide cooling to the drives?

I had my drives mounted in the disk tray at the bottom of my Lian Li case where a pair of 80mm fans blow air over them so don't think for me it's a cooling problem.Originally Posted by THCi
Likewise (Lian-Li with twin 80mm fans)
I sent back a faulty Seagate 300GB SATA yesterday, and have just had my received acknowledgement email.
Fingers crossed. Will keep this thread posted with progress.
One thing though - I had no luck whatsoever in DLing Seatools. The Floppy creator is no good as I no longer have a floppy in the system, and the CDROM ISO was all but empty, only a couple of text files and a PDF. Where's the flipping test software ?

g8ina - the software is in the boot image on the ISO... burn it to disc and boot from it
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
Or download Ultimatebootcd
hehe, yeah, I do know how to mount or burn an ISOg8ina - the software is in the boot image on the ISO... burn it to disc and boot from it
Cheers, David
But did you boot from it or just open it in explorer?
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
It wouldn't boot AND I looked at it in explorer. Didn't look like anywhere near enough "stuff" to be either a version of DOS or Seatools. What am I supposed to see as a file list then?

Is it actually okay to return HDD in bubble wrap and a jiffy bag or something along these lines? I don't want to send it off and then have it rejected for not being correctly packaged?
I recently returned a HD to Seagate - they would have rejected the HD had I packaged it the way you've posted above.
Their T&Cs clearly state that.
I've always sent mine in a proper box, although the last 2 I put in the same box and did bubble wrap 1 of them but made sure there was a layer of foam separating the drives as described in their RMA email they sent, I also OK'ed that I could do this with the person on Warranty so that I could have argued the toss should there have been a problem. Remember that the reason they put the clear packing instructions is so if you don't abide by their rules then they may reject your RMA claim.
Well, I'm quite happy today cuz I just received my replacement 300GB SATA drive. Posted last Tuesday (RMSD) and sent back via City Link. A Thai made drive, looks OK so far.
Cheers, David
I do not have the original packaging and I cannot get hold of anything that they specify. I cannot find a number on there website from general queries either so I cannot phone them and ask them.
Isn't there a link in their email to where you can buy a box?
I have a spare box if you need it. PM me.
Cheers, David
