Seagate India Refund Query

They'll give you another refurbished one. That's what their warranty policy says.

Ok, I'll try to contact Seagate India CC through email. let's see what they reply.

I'm trying to save whatever I can since day before yesterday from the failing drive and I don't want to do face this again in future.

Their reply:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Seagate Support.

I understand you have replaced the drive once and the replaced drive also working properly and so you lost your data. I also understand that you are requesting for refund for your drive. Please accept my deepest apology for the inconvenience this has caused you.

I would like to inform you that as per our policies, we will not be able to provide you the refund for your drive. If you still want to get the refund, I would suggest you to contact the point of sales.

If you could provide more information about the issue which you are facing with the drive, we can help you to resolve it.

For additional assistance, feel free to contact us at: Contacts | Seagate

Why would I email the CC if the HDD is working properly

I already wrote to them that it is having bad sectors, isn't that enough to give them the "information" they need?

Hope the refurb one is working fine now.

Good to know and glad to help.
My replacement 1TB (was brand new shipped from Singapore that time ) drive from Seagate is dying slowly...Surprisingly it just crossed the normal "industry" warranty period of 2 years!
Also made me realize that i need to consume less and contribute more
So i won't be replacing it and shifting all that data on the cloud for now after deleting the files i was attached to for a long time

hey if you have problem of bad sectors, why not solve it.. repair those bad sectors... there are software available for that...
My suggestion for software...
Download and burn Hiren's boot CD and run from boot... you can burn it on USB also using RUFUS software..
Download Link = *www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hirens.BootCD.15.2.zip
How to use this for repair bad sector..

1. Go to "DOS Programs"

3. Then go to "1. HDAT2 (Test/Repair Bad Sectors)"

4. And then perform tests according to you.. you can check, repair and verify bad sectors
